The cars an `83 mars red tin top, car was put into a lockup years ago stripped new front panel, new back panel etc, then the council decided they were going to knock it down.
The car was then moved to a barn started stripping the engine down and discovered the barn was full of leaks, time also became a factor!
Fast forward a few more years and ive eventually got it moved into a cracking garage with space plenty of light and where i can paint (spray painter to trade).
The dampness has taken a bit of a toll on it but nothing that cant be sorted so ill let the pictures tell the rest of the story

Looks like you've got a bit of work to do there but clearly you know what you're doing.

As for your question, well I can't answer it I'm afraid but I'm sure one of our members will see this and let you know how to do it, if it's possible!
Good luck with the project.

I can't help with the bolt question - I've done many things on MK1s but still haven't removed an engine! lol
As Mike says, someone will be along with the answer soon enough

Anyway back to the Mk1 tried the front panel up and found a bit of a flaw! Rust! under the factory primer, so probably end up having to buy another one!!!

Time to start getting some of this shiny metal into primer! Only get to spend limited time on the car so abit at a time, sticking some bilt hamber electrox on just now till the rest of the bay is coated then it'll be a full couple of coats of high built which should give it plenty of protection

Good progress so far, will be keeping an eye on this one. I agree with removing the factory underseal as its quite likely there will be rust hiding underneath it. Although the factory underseal would also provide a degree of sound deadening and I'm not sure if these cars are the same once its all been removed. If I ever did another restore and felt the car was in good enough shape i think I would try and leave it in place. Just my thoughts on it
Totally agree, if it looked ok id have left it in place but the engine bay always bothered me and its an area youll only get one chance at once the engine is back in so i want to make sure its as good as i can get it
Highly recommend this product its a bit messy and takes patience but the end result is impressive
