Alan's GSi project

Ok buddy just send me a pm when you find out. Keep up the good work:thumb:

no completed photos yet. i've not even been round to see it for over a week now. just been too busy

the arches have still to be fillered, all that is getting done when i get it home.

Ernie, funnily enough i bought the car from someone in Greenock which is right by the seaside lol


thanks again for the comments

If it were me i'd have whipped that rear beam off and the tiebars and derusted and painted them while its in that current state, probably worth checking the beam isn't holey too if thats what the rest of the underside was like

fantastic work has been put into this shell..

good on you/the welder for even attempting to re-build it.. i know i certainly wouldnt of.:thumb:

i will be intersted to see how it goes. good luck with the rest of it.

the rear beam will be coming off when i get it home. will give it a once over then clean it up and get it protected. still not got the car home, his van is proving a pain to do and the weather just isn't helping me atall!!

can't wait to bring it home though...it is sitting in his workshop finished :)


Alan

all i can say is wow this is one hell of a project

:O my jaw is on the desk reading this. Your welder/fabricator has skillz! Fair play sticking with it. As has been said by many, I've scrapped one in 10 times better condition - feel guilty as again lol

+1 rep

any more photos mate?
did your welder mate give you a price for
the job, before he started on it?
did he know how bad it was?

great project mate :thumb:

got the rest of the pictures sent to me yesterday, just heading out now but i'll put some up later tonight ;)

we did have a price for the original work to be done but as he went along he found more rot so obviously the price went up a little.

will be back later with more photos!!


Alan

ok, here we go....

this is the drivers footwell, once again never knew how bad the rot was but simon was up to the challenge. the chassis leg was pretty rotten aswell with the years of jacking up it has taken. the outer bit of chassis leg is a piece of exhaust cut in half.


Enjoy!!
