I love Barnstaple really nice place..... And you best keep your DUB fingers off my cousins and neices....

I think it might just be that... haha. but i have finished the doors today....so i is getting on with it.

welded







and Filled

Well tried to work on the car on the week end up ended up making more work to do!!

On inspection of the rear corners...well what can i say..... there where no corners left!! great.

So chassis was lifted off to see what need to come out, new rear quarters of the floor pan and a rear repair panel have been ordered...the other little bits can be made from new steel.

Then about 3pm the gas ran out on the welder, so we gave up for the weekend.

Today i popped off to the local weed centre, sorry hydroponics shop to get a new bottle of CO2. Got back home and finished the patches in the front i was doing when the gas ran out and then moved to the O/S rear corner. Just cut ever bit of rust out and then started on working an old rear inner wing in. got to about 7pm and gave up for the day.

Hoping to get both the corner finished by the weekend so we would have only lost a week

They take 1 step forward and 2 steps back..

Bit of a sh1ter, but at least it'll be done....................... One day........

Keep up the good work...

2 months and i will be done............yeah right

Typical dub that is 1 step forward 2 back we all no it

it is looking freaking cool tho bro!! i looked at the FB pics the other day

Thanks man, It's getting there slowly

Right well did a bit of work on the car today. Made up the headlight brackets, welded and painted.



Dusted over the the inside of the front and the n/s side wing.



Then carried on with the O/S rear inner wing.



Who would through this would have been full of filler and some of the worst welding and patch work i have ever seen on a car. However i has made it very easy to remover as most of it comes off in your hands, haha.

Took a section i had in the garage ready to do this job and started making it fit.



The rest of the panel should be here tomorrow so i will be welding this in.

Right the panels all arrived but didn't get any of them in to the car...which sucked :huh:

But rebuild the corner of the car which took a large part of the day and then started trial fitted them.



Fred finstone style





Hopefully finish this corner up tomorrow

Well both corners have been rebuild and filled.............

But one thing after another with this bloody car!!

More repair panels have been ordered and we are going to bit the bullet and split the car to repair/replace the heating channels (see rust).

I just wont to drive the bloody thing!!

Well this a picture of the patches before



Lovely



Well this is what it looks like no with all the welding done

Enter the other poor samp that is working on this car!
