Thanks Paul, I'm going to be off work for 2 weeks soon so hopefully I'll get some progress in my time off :)
You managed to sort the panels you need ? Or cut them out of the other shell?
Or you still looking ?
Picking up some bits at the weekend, but unsure if I'm going to use them on this edd, rear wheelhousings, but on this I've seam welded the original ones and i've got bilstein coilovers that don't fit the standard arch shape so I'm probably going to turrett the rear,
Also going to be removing the rear floor on the donor shell as it's a guide for doing this one so all I need to do is get more spot weld drills lol
I'm still waiting on my quarter panels tho, they might not arrive till November lol but I'm not needing those ATM anyway, they will be the last things to fit along with the rear panel, only a weekend to do those, but I need to do the chassis legs and floor first and take my time,
No rush= no mistakes.
Sounds like you've got it well planned out mate
Rear inner wheelhouses ? You got them off Hartley?
This not finished yet lol It's rotting faster than I'm typing being stood whilst you take your time lol
Did you have to do any welding whilst the engine was out, and did you spray or paint it silver?
Looks niceeeeee.............
if you look a few pages back you'll see it needs mega welding now lol, and it was star silver from the factory :)Quote:
