Has the chassis leg been cut off and welded back on? Looks like it.
Nice Starting place too.

No there was a small hole on the outer and one up inside the shock turret so I made the decision to cut a bit extra out to access it, it's not ever going to be concourse so I thought it'd be the best way to get it solid.

Since my last post I've mainly been collecting bits over the last few days I've taken the new gsi Tank got off nickj to the powder coaters,and also acquired a gsi tail gate, gsi brake servo, new springs, new shock top mounts and poly bushes for the front end. I'll try get some pics up in the week. Next step is to cut the rear panel out...which I've been putting off as it's not something I want to make a mess of

[Scottcooper85]

I started the **** end this morning here's a few pics-

I drilled all the spot welds out of the old rear panel first. Both sides like here then along the bottom and the few inside at each side then broke all the seams with a hammer and chisel.



Then to make it easier I cut the middle and carefully removed both sides



Heress a picture fully removed with the seams half cleaned back up




Then as it was nice I prepped and painted the new one ready to fit after I've under sealed etc. I just aerosoled it as I'm getting a full respray and it seams good enough for now.


That's about as far as I got today and it will probably be next weekend before I get around to taking it any further. Does anyone know the trick to getting the new panel in, in one piece? I've offered it up and it looks awkward

Their getting better mate, I'm glad the rear panel only wants spot welding though was hoping mine would be done and mot'd for PVS but it's looking like I'll be using our lasses at this rate.

[Nova_Dog]

let me know scott if you get it done in time as i am off in mine to pvs just mot'd mine at work saturday (shauns brother with red gsi)

[Scottcooper85]

Will do mate but doubt I'll get it done and squeeze a respray in before then, if not I'll be taking the astra. Doubt I'll be camping though.
