I should be along to the next one, depending on work and other commitments.

T25 chat sounds good, who knows I may even bring mine along next time.

Glad i wasn't greeted with that when i took mine off.  Good with the welder then?

i wish, tho i don't know as i've never tried.
panels now purchased, just gotta book some time with my mechanic and its new lower back end for me.

ash

finally got round to fitting my recently aquired strut brace.
mucho gracias mi amigo

it was bright yellow. the nitromorse revealed some interesting rust patterns, which i liked so that saved me polishing it up. abit of laquer, a reattached decal and we'll see how we go.

i had to relocate the vaccum ball thingy (hmmm, technical knowledge?!?) over towards the N/S abit, but no major problem.




rear arches and rear panel on next week…



ash x

picked my car up yesterday with my newly welded panels.

so here's my new bum
(in sunny buxton no less)





it don't look so pretty at the mo with surface rust leering its ugly head after last nights rain, just hope it stays away so i can finish the filling and get some paint on it.

classics back on this weekend too.

ash

nice bum. :wink:

zorst looks pretty nice mate, just gotta get it painted now ay.

good luck.

Keeping it the same colour when painting?

Looking good mate

glad you sorted that strut brace out too.. Laquered rust looks the nuts… lol

rear panels looking sweet too…

glad your getting there, you'll be ready for another road trip soon…

Keep up the work mate

cheers guys.
it'll probably be black or grey primer for abit then i think i'll get some rattle cans made up to code and match it up best i can.

still saving for a full respray in the same colour tho…

ash

well, its looking abit better now, from the back at least.
tbh the paint hides the imperfections in the filler job i did, which is nice.



i'm gonna pop out this afternoon and get started on one of the arches.
i hate filler.

ash

i knew i'd get bored of sanding filler.  
i just wanted to get some paint on really, to keep the rust away.

its not that bad a job, (actually its abit sketchy) and i keep telling myself that i'll re-do it before i paint it back to blue.
anyway, thats is how i roll.





i've just been out to take the masking tape off and its not the best looking, but its better than rusty holes!

ash

good work mate....

I agree, looks good.  :mrgreen:  Where the arches and valance pattern panels then? Did you get 'em from Beevers or somewhere?

aye, the panels are from beevers. good price too.

as is the way of my car, it looks better in the pictures, or from about 6-10 feet away.

thanks.
ash
