Never mind,im sure in years to come they will make a good retirement fund lol

Thanks for your help Rich :) im just a beginner compared to you lol

Oh no, I am determined to use some on a next project whenever I find the right car. The rest is an insurance policy for the Sport.

i'd love to have taken you up on your offer of a run but the 5 hour drive home kinda spoiled my day lol

you right to keep and aquire the parts, as i said today i'll build this GSI once, if its stolen/destroyed/crashed/damaged then it will not be fixed or replaced, this thread and this build will be its last, i just hope it survies.

You have the parts now, so lets get with the building of the car, when ever your needing a hand dont hesitate to ask, either laying the floor or anything buddy.

iain

If you need a hand shoveling concrete give me a shout, if you need a hand with the car ill stick the kettle on for you lol

any updates

Not at the moment, :(

god i hate this bloody car, its cost me thousands of pounds but yet i still cant scrap the fcuker!

so what im thinking is to cut the centre out of the rear floor section, repair the inner rear wheel arch, brace the rear substructure then repair the other side then fit the boot floor, then replace the rear chassis legs?

any better ideas?

i'd rather start at the rear ( ooh err ) as this would be the hardest section and the most probable to go wrong,

any input is welcome ( apart from reshell comments )

Are you fitting the whole new floor then ?

As you might want to have the rear lower edge of the quarters off to access that area if you are

If I were doing it I'd somehow be thinking of doing the floor, legs and inner aches with the rear panel still on for some support,

DO NOT GIVE IN THO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT DONE :d lol

Triangulation is best, I would weld in some bar/box section to maintain the shape of the rear of the car.
Prob best to weld to the roofs inner side strengtheners and join to the opposite side inner quater and arch etc. Use multiple bars front to back and measure everting befor you start cutting just in case you get some movement.

I reckon before you get to this stage you want the floor legs and inner arches all done

cheers lads, i am fitting the full floor Edd, rich i was going to weld a rear strutt brace between the rear turretts and a triangle form each turrett to the opposing roof corner as you say, measurements will be plenty as i dont want any flex as this would spell disaster, i have rear inner arch panels as templates to repair the sections and the rear panel will still be in place to hold ech side together,
as you can understand nobaody has removed and refitted a full boot floor and rear chassis legs before so its a little frightening lol

argh lol, the floor has to go in before the legs but the inner sills and inner arches have to be repaired before that, quarters and rear panel will be a piece of piss after that lol

that pic scares me lol

looks like a very long term project mate should be good when its all done

cheers mate, ive had it sooooo long i dont care how long it takes me now lol, just hope its started soon

Need some Kerplunk type triangulation lol

http://mysocalledhealthlife.files.wo...5/kerplunk.jpg

i always perfered spyrograph lol, it'll be my design for structural ridigity

IMO if you have the bracing done as you said it's time to crack out the drill mate, get the legs and floor out and go from there

Quicker you start the quicker it's done :)

need a concrete floor first lol, ive got DC1984 coming accross on sunday to help plan the shuttering, as some may know i lke to be 1 step ahead so i can dive into the next stage while planing the following one lol

but with my dad having kidney failure and Kats dad with terminal lung cancer my focus has been distracted latley :(
