Nah mate, ant got a clue... lol
Car is now fully primed i`ve just got a bit more under arch and underneath scraping and rubbing to do and then that can be painted...
Nearly there now... the shell is nearly ready!!!
Bought a pedal box at the weekend and 2 mex strut tops for it, ordered a strut brace today, that should be here this week.
Used 4 LITERS of seam sealer on the car... It was one of them, i`ll only need 1... oh, i`ll get another... oh, just one more then... and then my dad bought me another one today while he was out...

Oh yeah, and my bruv got a new camera...

This car is skinting me... i can`t afford one!! :laughing6:

Cheers Guys, you know it means a lot for the encouragement :cheese:

Would mean a lot more if came and helped out... But i`m not that lucky
eh?

Poly bushes are next on the list ready for the rebuild, mind you i`ve got
to get the bits and bobs powder coated first...
Got some rear callipers to come off an XR4x4 that my brother is breaking
so thats handy.
Gunna have to start saving for my trip to Thailand soon tho, so the car
may have to go on the back burner for a few months.

Its cost me a lot more than i ever anticipated... Always the way i suppose...
Still got quite a few pennies to spend on it to, and its no where near yet!
God knows what else i`ll need????

[Banishit]

do the XR4x4 calipers have a hand brake on them ? as I'm looking for some too

Brian

PS I need help too Ive just started rebuilding mine wing rails and top plates fixed wings maybe front panel this weekend

[M11RF]

I haven`t checked Brian TBH, i hope so...

Hydrulic handbrake and £20 hanging out of the glove box other wise eh?

Shame we all dont live close together and we could have a under car
scraping party at my house... A welding party at yours... And a rebuilding
party at Kevs...

:laughing6:

Hmmmm. looks familiar... can`t quite place it though...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got the inside done then today, looks nice, got a bit excited tho and the
dash has a run in it... Will flat out, or if it needs painting again, not a
biggy...









The outside next then... Can`t wait...

P.S - hows that for size then?

[Mex 1t]

keep up the good work

[M11RF]

keep up the good work

Well... the time has come...

Got the outside of the car done today... Now i`m on the home stretch, its still quite a long stretch... but i`m on it!!

Looking nice too, got some wet and dry flatting off to do tommorow and buffing, but it dont look too bad...












Finally decided that i should paint it yellow...
Do you think its a good idea?
