Cheers all!

Glad I've got to this stage , need to get it outside in better light at some point to see how it looks & if it needs anymore compounding. Next job is to build up the suspension & get it rolling so I can get it outside then the fun bit starts building it up

cheers, Stu.

It's quite an achievement to make it to this stage, I think from now on this is probably the best part of any resto, enjoy!

Hi all, been sorting out bits & pieces ready for the build up,
painted up a few bits,

stripped down & repainted steering column

Had a load more bits done at the powdercoaters,

axle casing powdercoating has turned out well,ready for rebuilding..



Also had steering column brackets done in powdercoat, and a boxfull of bolts, nuts & washers, boot catch, window runners etc done in zinc plate..



thats all for now.

cheers, Stu.

[mk1GTstu]

Well the build up has begun!
I've got boxes full of bits that have been blasted & powdercoated. So I've made a start getting it back to a rolling shell..


Powdercoated axle casing, I've re-fitted the diff, new brake line & handbrake linkages, all new or re-plated nuts, bolts & washers.



Front struts completely reconditioned..

[mk1GTstu]

Powdercoated crossmember, anti-roll bar & brackets fitted & new track control arms..



Some underside shots, leaf springs, rear shocks bolted in, powdercoated shock absorber bar, again new or re-plated bolts etc, new fuel & brake lines & clips..



Put new brake lines in engine bay..


Thats as far as I've got at the moment.

cheers, Stu.

looking very nice this was my fav part putting new clean stuff on a clean shell

[wetandwindy2]

forgot to add the powder coating looks a lot better than paint looks as if it would take more punishment ie chips etc
