just a shame its not up here anymore could have gave you a hand
Excellent work mate, i think the look you went for before would have stunned people in 1999/2000 but was just gay now. Glad to see you've seen sence. Should be an awesome car when finished!

I agree, although i did start building that a few years ago, just took time to finish!!Originally Posted by krobinson
Anyway, todays work!!
Engine, box and loom are out. Seams in the bay have had the seam sealer removed and primed to stop rust until i get it welded again as im not sure theyve been welded!!! Impressed with the condition of the bay though, battery tray is solid as a rock, and i only found 2 very small bits of rot but there a piece of piss to reapir!! Winner! So thats 3 small biuts now, looks a very very solid shell indeed!
That took most of the day as i had other stuff on, namely refitting the injection system and inlet to the XE i removed! And also selling my twin 45s for ?300!!!
Tomorrows work will include removing rear beam and rear dampers, tank and fuel lines (BIN), handbrake lever, steering rack and column, dash and rest of loom! Then the grindage begins!!
How ironic, the guy i sold my carbs to lives round the corner and guess what he does for a living! Hes a welder!!!
Bonus! Got my man for the huge list of weldage to be done!!!!
Ill get pics up of the days progress later!
bloody ell looks like you are doin a lot to the car then, mine is being picked up monday morning by ken to get everything done and he reckons he will now have her for 2 weeks , he has moved over to aldershot now so i need to go down at at some point and pay him a visit.
Where abouts is this place and what aort of costs is he charging as i need to find someone to do some spraying for me!
I wanna do everything but the paint!
