Alan's GSi project

if that was me i would have acid dipped the shell... quite reasonably priced

much respect mate for having all that work done...nice one!!!

thanks for the comments guys

mikec, i don't know what thickness he is using but i will ask next time i go see him.

scott, i never knew how rotten the car was until i seen the pics. by the time i had seen them he had already finished the back end of the car. if i had known at the start i would have probably just scrapped it. your new build looks awesome

here is a couple more pics....

thats pretty much all the pictures i have at the moment, the car is finished but i am doing a engine swap for simon in his van so can't bring it home until the van is away. should have it home next weekend if all goes well and weather permitting!!


Alan

Big respect for repairing it (Even if you didnt mean to lol)

Cant wait to see it all finished. Should last another 15years.

Immense amount of work gone into that. Did you take the axel off and have it blasted/painted too?

Any completed photos?

It's getting there mate, your mate's got some good skills as well!
Hope it all goes to plan mate, good luck.

Scott

Facking hell, some immense metalwork gone into that, i would of binned it after the first few rust pics lol lol

Top work.

Mmmm nice new metal, good work. Is the rear arch to be fillers still?

nice job you got going on there mate :thumb:

Jeeeez that's rotten! I can only echo others comments when i say full marks for perseverance! I'm sure, looking at the work carried out already, that it'll be superb when it's finished.

Has it lived in the sea for long.

Fare play for doing this and keep up the good work.
