again a nice car, looks good to start with david, im sure it will be a nice rebuild

[oggie snr]

David you must spend more time in the garage son Lakes 2013 will be here before you know it and that will be you 5th wedding Anniversary

[pockets]

im hoping it will be a nice rebuild too....ive got an astra gte to put back together before i want to get properly stuck into the mexico. lol

your right oggie i do need to spend more time in the garage its just hard to tear myself away from daddies little girl (hannah).
going by your sig i wont manage it in 4 monts and 3 days!! lol
i think the lakes tour being our wedding anniversary is the reason why fiona would like it finished for then. she does really enjoy the tour with all the cars too.

Good luck with the resto David but the car looks good to start with so should be a great one once completed

Nice to see another County Garage car getting well looked after

I like the plate on the GTE mate

[pockets]

i managed a couple of hours yesterday and today and i didnt take any pics .....sorry.
i removed the complete interior and front steering/suspension then got the old pinto disconnected and ready to be removed when i get a borrow of an engine hoist from fionas work.

i was ment to be starting to remove the rear axel tonight but my little girls tired me out lol

felt good to be getting on with it and even better it all came appart without hassle and i didnt uncover any more issues......so far!

im starting a shopping list in my head now. full polly bush kit, higher springs, lsd, rs 3 spoke steering wheel.......

More to add to shopping list...................

Rolls of welding wire
Pleanty gas
P40 fiberglass
Chicken wire

You will get there in the end! ha
