its getting there mate, sure is there any such thing as a mint shell unless you have taken it apart and rebuilt it yourself

[Nelly]

Just got these pic's from the bodyshop, slightly out of sync with the others, but goes to show what can be lurking in a "supposedly mint" shell that's already been restored once!

[Chesney]

[Frosticles]

Good to see you're still at it Neil. Thought you had deserted us!!! Not seen you for a while. Looking good there. Will be a stunning sister car to my Mex

[Nelly]

YUE - getting there slowly!!

Hello guy's,

Not been on here for a while - been setting up a new business which has been taking up all my time, so not had chance to think much about MKII's!

However the other day I managed to get over to the bodyshop that's had my Mex for the last 6 months, and at last i've got some pic's of the progress that's been made so far.......

For what started out as a solid shell, has so far had, 2 new front floor panels, new outer wings, the inner wings have been re-welded as they were litteraly hanging on by a thread!! Whoever fitted them originally wants stringing up!! The inner sills have had some work done as well, but the trickiest job was sorting out the bodged n/s A post and scuttle, which was full of filler.... nice!! The final job to do is sort out the o/s rear wheel arch then she's ready to be prepped for paint........ might be home in another 6 months then!!

[Chesney]

progress report mate??

[Chesney]

how u getting on with cleaning bits up mate???

[Nelly]

Slowly Kev....!! New front wings are on, the rot in the o/s/r wing has been sorted and the floors are being done as we speak. He's promised that i'll have back for May......... hasn't said which May though!!

To be honest i've not really been hassling him, as I doubt very much if i'll get it back on the road before the end of the summer, and i'd rather he took his time and did a proper job, than rush it through and miss bits.

[Frosticles]

How's it going Neil??? Want to know how sister YUE is doing?
