  • Thanks mate! Ah, I didn't measure mine as they were all over the place so I didn't trust them! Will have to fit my bonnet and offer the wings up etc!

    Cheers

      Have you got one of these?

          • cheers for the comments! Bit of an update, been cleaning off all the old underseal off the inner wings, horrible job! fortunately its only on the inner wings & not underneath.
            got it down to the original primer, not too bad this side

            • was'nt much underseal on this side, splash panel has quite a few pinholes & large holes at the bottom so will need replacing along with driver side A-post

                      • Cheers for all the nice comments! Time for a bit of an update, decided to make a start on the rear end of the car so its strong enough to put on the spit.
                        Found loads of filler & glassfibre in the spare wheel & tank wells & also in the rear panel & valence.

                        • Cut off the rear panel as it was to far gone to repair,


                          O/S rear spring hanger has been patched


                          some of the filler in the rear panel!

                          • cut out the tank well



                            found some more of the woodgrain patches stuck on with sealer!

                            Comment


                            • cut off the patch on the spring hanger to reveal the original underneath



                              Plenty of rust!



                              drilled out spot welds & removed rear bumper mount

                              • Decided to sort out the spring hanger first, cut off the old one back to good steel & also removed rotten section of boot floor
