I wouldnt Gaz, but if your not happy its the only way to go, just keep them pics coming :cheers:
The wings have to come off anyway as the rails are shot, so i might as well put some brand spankers on there
Look like a good one
how many miles has it done
50000 :geek: :geek:
the car in general aint too bad , like i said im just not happy with the paint and to get it painted properly i decided the best way was to take the car down to a shell

29-08-2005, 22:03
looks pretty good there our GAZ, hopefully not too much cash req'd for the bodywork phase, you engine bay looks really tidy, apart from those big carbs that clutter it all up a, if you fancy getting rid of those.........
Gaz sound like your doing the same as myself, mines got 56k but I just want it as good as I can get it

Gaz - Think back to how my car was when you came to see it !!!
If you want to go down that road then good luck !!!!!!!!!!
What you must do is the following
Keep going until ALL rust is removed
I stopped at the bulkhead - lol lol lol
BEWARE - You have been warned

best of luck gaz :cheers:
There aint much wrong with that Gaz...
You putting flat front wings on?http://www.asbl37.dsl.pipex.com/laugh.gif
When its done you wont want to take it out in the rain or anything and it will sit in the garage most the time.... Just like mine... Thats the only problem... :cyclopsani:

Aaron P.
30-09-2005, 11:24
UR MAD GAZ..........i know where ur coming from though with the paint.......my mex is very clean but it needs a repaint IMO.....the black around the doors is cracked & peeling of the engine bay has a few blemmishes......was hoping to have the car done over the winter but i aint got my new garage built yet so its staying the way it is for now.......i wouldnt be working in that garage to long man as thats an espostoss roof.....dangerous shit ..... :cheers: :cheers: .......looking good so far though......

paul spence

so wot you doing with the sunroof?
so wot you doing with the sunroof?
still undecided , "ab mexico" is going to send me some pics of his infilled sunroof so im going to see how that turned out and if it looks ok i might go down the route of filling it in , if not im going to keep it i think as its far to expensive to have the roof chopped and a new one put on
lee bishop
30-09-2005, 13:04
you sure are making progress GAZ, and by all accounts, its looking good. ignore the comments on asbestos roof's btw, they are harmless all the time you arent making them into dust i.e drilling/cutting etc etc
ian parker

I went along the slam panel removed the spots, and down the front panel where it joins the crossmember and inner wings,

im getting scared of that if thats what it takes just for a respray i think maybe a good :brushteeth: for now, but i know the car needs it :cheers:
thing is your never really happy with just a good clean, i know i wasnt , it just seemed the best thing to do , strip it down and start again
im in no rush to get it done , given me self at least 2 years , at the moment i just want to get it dipped and in primer and see where im going from there
Gaz if you have the car dipped and not seem welding it properly then it will be rotten within another 2....
I don't think you realise how much preperation work is involved after having this done ?
Is it going to be dipped then painted straight away ? Not this primer i mean finished and painted ?
Hi Gaz!
Your nuts mate! It looked totally mint in the first pics!! lol!
Good luck with the resto!
Ian. :bounce:
A few more piccys and a bit more butchering

lee bishop
16-10-2005, 09:23
hey GAZ, have you set a buget for this lot?? or are you just going to wing it?? i reckon now you have gone to this effort, you better re-skin the roof too!!
Have to agree with Lee, you must reskin the roof - if not you will regret it.
RSkars
dasadrew
16-10-2005, 12:48
Yeah, but don't take the roof skin off now otherwise you'll have an IKEA Flat Pack Escort! :geek:
ian parker
16-10-2005, 12:59
must agree as well Gaz, now you have gone to this extent, you must do the roof as well, keep going mate and keep the pics coming, waved mine down the road on Thursday, hope to get up there next week to talk it through with the guy,
Lee
not really set a budget as you allways go over it anyway , other than the prep and paint it shouldnt cost that much to be honest ,as im not going OTT with replacing al the parts , just going to clean em up and re use and use my stuff that i allready have powder coated , nuts bolts etc going to get em re passivated , tried a little trick with the wiring loom that at bought it up spotless ( cant say what that is yet though as i will get the **** taken out of me for doing it...lol) but will say if it all works when it goes back in
still undecided on the sunroof as it really does not bother me too much about it being there .
will keep posting pics as and when :cheers:

01-01-2006, 17:05
Its coming on Gaz, any progress with the shell yet, ?? Im still heading for end of Jan-beginning of Feb, so as soon as its done your welcome to the spit,
I had someone to come and look at the shell the other day so he could give me some sort of estimate on how much it will cost me to have it painted .
he has also sort of swayed me away from having the shell dipped , he says the shell doesnt really need dipping as it is a good shell and the dipping process will not show up any more imperfections on the car other than what is visible now ...so dont know what to do now regarding dipping
He thinks i should just have the underneath blasted and the rest of the car just normal prep work ready for painting
ian parker
01-01-2006, 17:31
I think thats sensible Gaz, did it really need dipping ??, get it in the air, get on your back and start cleaning, should only take three or four months !!, or cheat and get it blasted, the reason i was put of that was that it gets everywhere, all in the chassic rails etc etc, keep us informed mate,
I f i dont get it dipped i was thinking of spending the money on getting another sunroof fitted , you know like the double ones you see on some people carriers :cheers:
ian parker
01-01-2006, 18:08
Seriouly though Gaz, i dont want to start this old chestnut of again but your obviously taking this very serioulsy, get that roof sorted, its done and dusted then, i know its about opinions, and in mine the effort yourve put in so far, get it done professionly when the shell is being prepped, long term your be much happier i,m sure, and in my opinion the car will look alot better, you even have the benefit of being able to use a BVR,
dasadrew
01-01-2006, 18:39
Probably more RS2000's got delivered from the dealer with a sunroof fitted than with a 5-Speed box, and that dosn't seem to worry anyone!
ian parker
01-01-2006, 18:58
fair point, however there is a mechanical benefit to the gearbox and of course, you can always retain the 4 speed gearknob, the sunroof, especially the microwave versions, in my opinion, dare i say cheapen the appearance of the car. Gaz is obvioulsy going all the way, thats the reason why i would say get it done, !! so there, lol
dasadrew
01-01-2006, 19:44
Yeah, probably a good route would be a factory sliding roof like the Dodie and Boyle version. Together with BVR - mmmmmm nice!
ian parker
01-01-2006, 20:03
Yeah, as far as i,m aware, that car was the only one i ever know of with a factory glass sliding sunroof, i know there are companys that will fit a kind of Peugeot "moonroof" i think that would be better than a Webasto or small glasss eightees roof
decided to cut the whole of the roof skin out and fit a **** off double glazed unit in its place complete with locking handle and beading :cheers:

thought i would take the wings and the front panel along just to see what a mk2 looks like with some sort of front end
A little update but nothing to serious
now is that the cleanest garage you have ever seen or what....lol

When my front end was fitted we started with the bonnet being on and level with scuttle panel
Then each panel was fitted with self tappers until all panels were in correct position including putting nosecone in place as well
Then panels were spot welded to finish

Last time i was up there the panels were all in place using self tappers so i imagine that it was done the same way , bonnet hinges was on the car when it went up there so its prob all been done and hes taken em back of:confused:
