Cheers for all the comments

Have you painted all the carpet?

No just the rear arch carpets, i have a fair few browns sets to chose from just put a set in to save the floorpan from getting scratched whilst im building it up.

What happened to the damage on the rear quater? Was it just paint scuffs?

Also, whats the plans, as its caged, is it going to be "Historicly" used, hillclimb or something?

Or purely a toy?

Paint damage will require some paint on the rear quarter, i have a good friend who will sort it to a very high standard once its on the road.

I will use it mainly on the road, cant see me taking it on a track tbh.

where was it painted ? also where did you buy the carpet underlay from ?

Tommy

Adrian Culley painted it iirc.

I got the underlay from OpelClassicParts on eBay.de

What happend to the old shell?

Craig now has it, I'm sure he will start a thread when he starts work on himself

[Edd]

possibly the best shell ive ever seen! how much did that set you back edd?

Some questions should never be asked and will probably not be answered, I think that should stay between Edd and Rich

Edd if you need any interior bits let me know as most of the bits you sold me with the interior wont be used

Well said Mark

Il let you know about the interior, thanks for the offer.

[wwmnw]

Nice, I'll be watching this and its good to see its all being done properly will be epic when finished.

Update time;

I went to pick a 13 sb engine up off Rich few weeks ago.

Fully rebuilt engine with a Kent ast2 cam fitted, i do have cylinder head with 1mm oversize valves but i dont want to split the headgasket so i will fit this head when i eventually put the charger on.

Engine;



Built up with a F13, i degreased, etch primed, and painted in silver. Still got to refurb the end plate and diff cover.
Fitted some gearbox bolts that have been chromed.
New flywheel fitted as well.
The place where i took the metal engine mounts to ended up losing them
so i refurbed some other ones.
Still need to put the Irmscher rocker cover on.

Built up;



Iv decided to use genuine new engine mounts but for the rear gearbox where iv gone with a new solid one.

In;





Fitted a few other bits, stainless bonnet stay, new rubber bonnet stay holder, chrome bonnet release spring and brake bulkhead blank.

Still loads to do in the bay but least the engine is in.

Tomorrow should see me make some progress with the interior.

Edd.

engine and box look good painted up mate, giving me inspiration on painting my engine and box on my Areg resto!
