1982 Rebuild,1.8t 20v My First MK1!

The way it is triangulated means that it can still flex horizontally. because it is all on a flat plane it simply stops any sway from side to side. i doubt it will crack due to the grade of metal used. 

Hey, apologies for the delays. Not a huge amount has moved on since febuary due to work commitments
Before things slowed down I managed to take out the old poorly rolled off side arch and replace it with the new spaced out one as well as replacing the inner arch with a new slightly modified one




I then set about building a spit for it. After being fed up of welding/grinding upside down






Managed to then rope in some help to start stripping the underside





Hopefully wont be too long till its all tidied up underneath. Were moving to a new workshop next week so hopefully that wont delay by too much  

You're not alone in the slow progress department mate, I think most are going slowly mainly due to the awful weather we have been having recently.

She's coming along slowly nevertheless.

Tell me about it, slowly but surely. Yeah there was only so long i could run an oil heater for before i went bankrupt haha. 

It's been a long time, and to be honest I had forgotten I had made this thread however thought I'd pick it up again. A lot has changed (aside from the car being no where near complete)…

Apologies to the purists
