Alan's GSi project

Mental amount of work mate, but that will be very strong! Good work :)

I actually cant believe the welding skills :eek: Good on you for getting this far mate. Good luck :)

Cheers guys

Benn, Simon makes custom exhausts for a living so he had plenty of pipe lying around to use on the car.

Going to be looking into running the brake and fuel lines inside the car, possibly just the brakes. What are peoples opinions on this and what is the best route taken? I was thinking along the tunnel at the handbrake?

Dam me that looks well nice, quite like the round chassis rails lol

Glad to see an update more then anything.

My lines, brake and fuel are internal, it's totally up to you ware you run them mate.

Good work there buddy, as for fuel and brake lines i was looking into running internal lines but decided against it and just replaced my existing ones with a copper/zinc lines which i bought through ebay;) Keep up the good work:thumb:

Thought i should put an update on for you guys to see

Had the car back at the house a while now but only got time to work on it in the last couple of days. I started with the brake lines, have decided to just run them outside the car. Oh the joys of bending copper pipe into shape!!

After the brake pipes i started putting the dash loom back in, i ran the behind dash part and into the engine bay...it all lined up perfect to my surprise. I sat the engine loom in place too, just waiting on a holesaw to drill the bulkhead.

Here is a couple of pics of how the engine bay is looking

I also got myself a timing belt and fired that on then put the inlet and other wee bits back on the engine. It's finally taking shape!! :d:d

Good times! Is the whole car painted now?

menatl amount of work ive scraped better shells fair play to ya

great work:thumb: , your welding mate must be rich by now with all that work for youlol , im in a similar position at the moment with the rust, im simply cutting the full boot floor both quarters rear panel sills front panel front legs etc etc and starting from scratch. must be something in the water up here that makes us save these rotboxes lol
hope you keep going with it:thumb:

it's just the engine bay that's painted, so that i can get the car running. So much easier if i can reverse it out the garage and work on it instead of in the confined space. Hopefully the engine will be slotted into place this weekend!!

Bazil, had a look at your project. I feel your pain, your pics look as nasty as some of mine did haha good luck to you!
