Ive always had the view that if reshelled and used the other shells ID then it's always going to be a replica, and I can't use the original reg as that would be ringing, so after having them lying around for 11 and 6 years I'm in no rush to fix the shells, it more restoration than rebuild.
Totally agree! Anything is fixable if you put the effort in.
I'll get there in the end
tbh 99% of people would scrap my shell, I'm to stubborn, and want to prove a mate wrong lol
Just had quick scan thru
Hope you've got another shell to cut rear hassis legs from, rear toe eye looks fooked lol
Yeah I've got a solid mk1 shell that was registered as scrap so I've removed the inner wings for my gte and the rest is pretty usable, I'm going rear coilovers and turretts anyway so the legs won't have to take springs,
I was wanting to much further along by this time but I'm not going to rush in just to get it finnished, I'll take my time and do it right.
Well after last nights shift I set about pulling out the engine today, first I had to move the brothers GSI vectra that got all 4 brakes seized:tard:
then working by myself got the engine out without breaking anything or spilling blood lol
on a bad note, when I was under the motor undoing the box bolts I got a serious shock about how bad it really is with rust,
The only things left on are the n/s door and roof lining and sunroof and hopfully get them off tomorrow.
As I've been up for 27.5 hours now I'm of to ma kip:)
lol sounds like fun i took the engine out of my old nova by myself with 2 scisser jacks and halfords extreme challange toll kit haha lol really looking forward to seeing the progress on this :thumb:
There might not be much more progress,
if you mean what i think you mean ill take it lolQuote:
