1600 sport (SA model)

[GWtaylor]

Well time to start my project thread
This is the car the day/night I bought it
A SA1600 sport
A little info on the SA specs

RS2000 shells as standard with all the strengthening if the RS2000 but without the nose cone

Mexico front splitter as standard all black regardless of colour of car

Long range fuel tank which sits across the the boot

Sport emblem in front dash surround

Headrests in cloth UK's were vinyl

9" rear drums

Kohln rear axle (pants)

And 1 or 2 more I can't remember at the moment

[GWtaylor]

A little rundown of spec of mine

2.0 205 block pinto
4 speed box
Was originally white then green then orange



Interior is pretty shocking

[GWtaylor]

The random colour coding going on

[GWtaylor]

From first appearance it looked a pretty solid shell

UNTIL I started to remove fibre glass

AND








Seen worse but also seen better

[GWtaylor]

Managed to get hold of a another SA interior which was far better than mine so in the bin went the old and fresh new interior to go in








Now thinking about selling this interior to go for fishnets

[GWtaylor]

Well with interior stripped out time to do abit more investigating for rust holes luckily not too bad



The long range tank



Decided to buy these from a mate I know there capri but going to get them re trimmed

[GWtaylor]

So while deciding on what way to go with floor either full floor or patch
I've decided to go with full floor

Where can I get a full floor from?????


I decided to take a look over the engine


With lots if little horrors every where


Over spray


Garden hose for servo pipe which was melted anyway



This was resting on the down pipe


So did a little tidy up of befor and afters

[GWtaylor]

Then after taking the plunge I started to strip it down ready for welding and paint

The strip excuse the random pics of stripping






More random colouring






And no it wasn't slave labour I paid her in Haribo's

[GWtaylor]

Spot the nasty a

[GWtaylor]

Well how it stands as of today






I certainly don't have deep pockets so next job is to save up for floor pan (anybody know of a good supplier)?

Then save up for welding work to be done




Please any comments good or bad are welcome

Looks a good car and the over spray and Fiberglass seems to come free with most of the SA imports. I got a mk1 from over there and I swear it's been used as stunt car!
SD Developments for complete floor, brilliant to deal with 07879043941
Keep up the good work and enjoy
