Project mk1 G60-New pics pg11

well i bought this mk1 in january of this year,thought it was a solid little car but how wrong i was.thing is it had 11 months mot on it when i got so thought it was a good one.
piccys of the car



so thought i would get all the little bits sorted out thats when it became apparent that it needed quite a bit of work.

bit's iv'e had done to date are

new complete rear panel
2 new rear arch's
2 new rear quarter repair panels
both chassis repair panels under boot
both chassis repair panels under the rear beam
full front panel
both full sills
2 plates on the inner wings

The floor pans where in good condition which was a bonus.
Few pics of the bodywork to date,will be getting painted in the next 2 weeks.
excuse the quality as they where done on my phone






More better pics when i pop in again next week.

looking good mate
keep up the work

awesome work there mate, looks like a lovely car in the first place, wud benefit from some badges on the boot though, maybe buy some of those repro items that are stick on then u wont have to have a new boot, either way mate, looks like a sweet car, and well done for restoring it properly

looks like its nearly there, good luck

sure is mate

Coolio - I love seeing them on cars where the're meant to be  

Quality panel,the garage doing the resto said it fitted perfect

that list of repaired panels is almost exactly what im having to do, gonna save some pennies by doing it myself 8O  tho looks a very good quality of work getting carried out.  keep the progress reports coming 8)

right a quick update the car is now painted and 99% back together just waiting on a final flatdown and mop and it's back on the road few shots i got with my camera phone so excuse quality again the bodyshop took loads of detailed pics of it but i need to get them at some point.

Looks nice and freshly minted

cheers mate that rear panel i got off you looks a treat on there now

Looks good, glad you are looking after it and giving it the time and attention I couldn't.

Get some decent pics up with the new wheels on just to rub it in a bit.

will do buddy.so looking forward to getting back in it now

Are you happy with the quality of the repair to the spare wheel well? I'm not sure why I noticed it, but it doesn't seem up to the same standard as the rest of the car (very nice indeed).

It may be absolutely fine underneath - just thought I'd make sure you've seen it…

That was done before I owned the car iirc

Yeah as Rich M as said it was done ages ago.it's solid enough and is fine underneath so not really an issue for me.the car is never going to be concours just a bit of fun
