this will be a good learner for you mate,keep up the good work

**muzzy** · 24-03-09, 02:48 AM

I've seen alot worse, dosent look too bad a base really. So far most of the bits you need to weld up are fairly easy.

Good luck, ill be keeping an eye on this one

Youve got a good car compare to my first sr mate, had to pretty much rebuild the whole car in a week. Brakes look like standard with drilled and grooved discs, my GTE/GSI brakes were always vented.

If its your first project theres plenty of people/articles on here that can help you out and show you the way mate, keep us updated

thanks stuart, yea im having a bit of bother getting the hub nut off, split pins etc are out but even with a tube over the ratchet and the socket stil isnt easing any but il get it off eventually

before then im going to cut the original panel out, then take the engine out then begin fabrication & welding

as for buying a haynes manual, consider it done

nice project,
have you thought about getting some of your
suspension parts powder coated?
i got seven bits done for £30
which i didnt think was to bad.

its brand new alstho it had been sittin in a shed for a year or so and has got a bit dirty and scraped but it doesnt matter as it will be getting painted
