looking top Craig :D
Come PV & Billing, it should be looking spanking :D
Thanks Grant, no problem, though I wish my paintwork was as sweet as yours. Respray #2 in the pipeline!
PV actually feels too close for comfort tbh. (did I really type that in October?)
I stripped the subframes off the seats lastnight, I can see why matey got rid, the std Ford subframes had snapped on one side, luckily the Recaro seat is fine. It was a Ford part that failed. Heheh.
I was under the back end of the car for about 2 hours solid last night. Cleaning off the Schultz nonsense from the drivers side rear turret, should have the back end fully painted out by the end of the week hopefully, that will leave the way clear for the refurbed rear beam to be fitted with the new GM bushes (I might regret not using split type poly bushes). Cant wait.
Beam is yet to be refurbed btw.
Just to comfort you, mine WILL be at PV08 finished, you got nothing to worry aboutlolQuote:

Once thats done, the tank will be going on & in the mean time the rear beam will be wire-drilled, primered & painted etc.
Good work craig, its hard to get the motivation this time of year. But keep it up!
Cheers Keith. I actually spent over an hour last night cleaning the beam & trying to get the ARB out of it. It was a bit like unearthing some archaeology... I found a date stamp on the beam.
29 AUG 89. I was quite surprised as all the interior plastics & mouldings etc indicate mine as being 1 of the 1st GSi's I'd guess? Being September '90 which was when they were launched. I assume the beam's were made in massive numbers previously...
Useless trivia!
A bit more proof the beam is off...

Its a bit cleaner, but struggling to pull the feckin ARB out. Through the other side maybe?
Heres a chassis leg awaiting Hammerite.

Nice work.
Chassis leg looks nice and solid :)
that rear beam will look satifyingly good once repainted, cleaned up.
