Alan's GSi project

thanks sparkie

scott, i'm from east kilbride, just outside glasgow....

ok more pictures.....believe it or not it got worse!! simon said if he had seen this bit at the start he would have probably told me it wasn't worth fixing :eek:
but having gone this far no point in not giving it a go!!

its where the rear axle attaches onto the chassis, we reckon this was mainly due to trapped water behind some black gunk put on the car from a previous repair then the car sitting idle in my garage for a year and a half

and that all the welding pictures i have...well got a strengthening kit in too but we all know what one of those looks like!

vaughan, i messaged you a few weeks back. i've been added to the list of scottish members lol

at the very least i am over the moon with the welding thats been done, can't thank simon enough infact i'm still baffled at some of his work. how he has been able to see a shape from some of the sections he has cut out is beyond me. hopefully with these pictures i do nothing but enhance his reputation


Alan

Ahh did you mate I couldn't remember or not

Quite a lot of members in the region now

Will we be seeing this Nova out and about in 09 ?

Fingers crossed, yes. Not going to rush it though, it will be done when it's done because i want everything done proper.

Christ, she had a rotten bottie.
Hope the metal around the rear beam mount was nice and think.

makes me feel sick just looking at all that rot lol

fook............ME! lol

That was worse than i thought!

I cant believe where some of your rot was, hope you have checked all the inner rear arches mate, as my mate mikes were really bad, and missed it at first.

Scott

do you mean check them from inside the car or outside? i'm hoping that next weekend i can get it in my garage and get under it with the wire brush and get rid of all the underseal already on there.

got a hold of some galvanised paint to protect under the car :)
