1.3 Ghia rebuild

[robrs2]

Been ill, :cry: out of the garage for almost 6 weeks.
So, a little progress.
Passenger side inner wing and A post had been worked on by the previous owner. Needed a bit of tweeking and bits adding. The wing rail has been a pain to line up and a few patches to add too.


Wing rail finaly on



And with the outer panels trial fitted :smokin:


Got a diff on order from Titan Motorsport, going for the same spec as Goldmember 45/45. Not sure on the pre load and don't know if it can be adjusted yet. Phone call toe the cage people tomorrow.

Tin worn banished from the passenger sill/floor.
















And finaly sime mechanicals go on. Fitted the front suspension and wheels. Need to get it rolling as i need to turn it around so i can do the rear arches and rear panel. Then thats all the bodywork welding done and just the gearbox tunnel to widen.

Strut tops need altering to large size also and i need to get some top plates either RS ones or Group 4 ones. Not sure which ones.

Got it in the car tonight, not welded though.
It's a tight fit, nice and close to the body. Pics tomorrow.

Wanted it done for Santa pod in april. But as i have found out i'm working that weekend so i can't get there. Which means i now have more time. So i hope it have it done for the lakes tour.


Cage is in, but not bolted up yet.

[robrs2]

Got one of the jobs done that i wasn't looking forward to. The driverside rear arch is on. Only 3 more major panels to do now.






Oh yes had a little fire too. Don't you just love underseal

[robrs2]

Doesn't seem like much done, but the cage is just about fitted. Welded the floor plates front and main hoop. Not easy welding 3mm plate to thin tin floors
