After buying the GTE 2 month ago I finally made a start today stripping it out.
The plan is to go bare shell rebuild. I have been sourcing panels for the last few months and got most of what I need, mostly gm ones.
It was advertised on eBay as mint, it isn't and wasn't happy when I travelled 250 miles to pick it up and was presented with this, needless to say I payed nowhere near the asking price!
As it stands at the moment:
Some pics of the rot/previous attempts of repairs!
A bit of filler build up on inner wing
Something going on with pas side inner wing
Drivers side strut top in wheel arch, passenger side is good
Some fibreglass in battery tray
Patches in boot
A little bit of filler in rear arches but there not too bad
So next steps are to take running gear out and get it to a bare she'll, then start the dreaded job of taking all the undersell off!
