2 door saloon, major rebuild.

[burgo]

those of you who have me on facebook will have seen my MOT date error, for those who dont it ran out a month earlier than i thought not usually a major problem but b743 is home to quite a bit of rot, and where there isnt rot there is dents . plan is lots of new panels and full respray. time frame is about a month

some pics of the problem areas

sill is actually split by about 8 inches


not a lot left here. i need either some repair panels or sections cut from a donor for here please?


other side not as bad


and again not as bad but needs doing


something missing


bent and rusty


bent


there is dings all down the sides, not that you can see them in these pics



boot lid is dented and paint is wrong colour and knackered



spot the difference between this



and this



and no not the strut brace.

probably nothing gonna happen for a week or so as i need to finish stripping the lexus first

good luck with this mate, it'll be interesting to see how you do the back wheel to boot sill section as my drivers side one has gone, i'm also going put on some fresh sills and a respray aswell

[Rickyb]

looks a fair old project and in the spot the difference alls i can see different is the accelerater cable is held to a different pipe oh and the first pic the engine is slightly dirtyer?
il be keeping an eye on this as its similar to what im up to :D

Ahh i see the need for donor panels now , doesn't look as bad as i thought it would

[burgo]

that brown one wouldnt be used as a donor, any news on that?

the difference between the engines is that infact the second one is a new one . swapped them last sunday afternoon, the old one was leaking all sorts of fluids all over the place so just lobbed the spare engine in

[Mazz]

eeek, good luck buddy!

Whats up with the lexus?

[Balley]

I will be keeping an eye on this little gem. Lexus engine going it it to?

[ryansnova]

good luck with the build mate

[christurboo]

Stripping an LS400? That'll be a nice and veeeery smooth running V8 1UZ-FE engine then. Any plans for that? Going into the Nova maybe? Perhaps? Perchance? LOL

Anyway good bit of work needs doing on the Nova. Have some rep for taking up such a huge project!

Cheers,
Niek
