soul destroying job even on a spit,keep at it buddy looking good.dont look like much welding is needed?

[pockets]

thanks and its not that bad of a job. i can imagen that it would be much worse if i were doing all this while lying on my back on the concrete floor!

so far the car needs small ish repairs to all of these:- both front wings, front panel, both sills, spare wheel well, lower rear panel and passenger door skin, once fixed it will need a full respray.
i also would like to rebuilt the diff and maybe fit an lsd if i have the spare money, fit new rear 1/4 window rubbers as these ones have split, find and fit an rs 3 spoke steering wheel and get the interior retrimed with the covers i got for xmas lol.

it all adds up! i dont think i have the cash to do all this but i'll try my best.

Coming on well mate , nice progress

i turned the car over on the spit today to get at the floor on the other side, i was crapping myself again, i keep thinking its going to fall over!

more scraping of underseal, seam sealer and filler.
i didnt clean this lot up as i normally do as i think the fumes were getting to me i ended up feeling sick and had a bit of a sore head so it looks a bit rough in the pics.
both chassis legs had a skim of filler in some areas but i cant see why it was there as when i removed it the leg is not rusty or been repaired, maybe just a cosmetic thing???????

Hats off to you fella. I had a brief try at mine now that the outer wing is off and the underseal/stonechip didn't even budge. I think I might just give mine a scrub and touch up the minor flaky bits.
