The Nomates Rustoration :)

I Had another nose around yesterday, the man is on a mission!
Doing a top job steve, got to be easier now you've got all the right toys! Can't wait to hear the N2O equipped turbocharged 1200 running, going to be awesome!

...yeah right ...

I am pleased with the results of the metal work so far tho'

Shit the bed dude! That's a very nice job... Especially considering what you had to work with. Keep up the good work. Can't be that much further till it's ready for paint.

thanks dude .....got a few more nasty's to deal with before paint ...but getting there

You can assist and instruct when I start chopping the 71 about.

...what you up to ?

I want to cut out that little patch in the back arch to make sure it has been done properly.

get the grinder out

I am going to strip all the inner wings of the Underseal before there is any cutting done.

see you in about two years then

Cheeky Fecker. I haven't done anymore this week though!!!

Ok ....this does look a bit good ....its not as good as the pictures suggest ....however its a nothe step in the right direction ....and I'm still enjoying the build .....

rear inside in etch ....
rear off side quarter in etch
engine bay in etch

altho still needs some sanding / filler ...and then some high build primer ......so a long way off yet ......and my 50 quid compressor has performed great ...here's some pics

lovely!

when's the rest getting done?

as and when I finish it ......got your gear linkage sorted ?

no.... from one disaster to another lol. The one I got from Mega Bug was the same as the one from Heritage, despite me sending them a picture and measurements! Anwyay - Steve managed to get the old end out of the coupling, so I welded it back on, refitted it and somehow it still doesn't feel like I've got all the gears. It's hard to tell cos she's not on the floor, so I'm not certain where neutral is.... getting fed up of this car

bummer dudess ......on a brighter note when you finally sort it ....you will feel great ......think positive you will sort it I know

Yeah I'm looking forward to that moment! Seems a long way away at the moment though....

chin up .....that time will come

Lookin very nice dude!
You gonna be painting it yourself?


... Looking at this thread makes me want another bug project. Keep up the good work dude.

sort of .....there are marks left in the primer to deal with ,,,,but then again its a long way off from top coat ......and there is a lot more to do before the rest is in etch ...but yes i'm happy , cheers dude

Good work there Steve. Me and William popped round earlier but there didn't seem to be much movement so we didn't come in.

sorry to have missed you both ...I was probably out looking at the schwimwagon

No worries, I was only going to be popping in for 5 mins. We were off for a crazy trip to Morrisons!!

not very exciting ......nut a bit more etch primer goes on

all the inside is now done


the dashboard pics


and the other rear quarter


got shed loads of work to do on the front end ,,,,,,starting with MORE rust







so it has now been removed I will fix this area and try to recreate the fiddly bonnet seal holding plate ...





...well I did say its not very exciting
