Little update of monday's work.
Removed the scabby rear panel.
..and started to get the new one ready. Decided to get some paint on the inside before welding it on.
Few more coats in the week and it'll be good to go.

Made a bit of progress today. Got the bonnet, door, and front lights on.
(excuse the crappy phone pic)
I managed to cracked the bumper though
It had a small crack which had been repaired on the corner under the indicator and whilst trying to remove the bumper, flexing it to get it round the wheel arch bracket as caused the crack to open up again

Just read this from start to finish. You've really persevered with it, so good on you. It looks great with the new paint. Now go and get that headlining sorted

Windows are going back in today, as will the roof lining (whether it likes it or not!)
I could probably update this thread but its mostly boring stuff like doing the door handles/catches etc..
I'll take a quick pic once the windows are back in though as the sun is shining

My rotten s2..... Slowly being put back together.
Been struggling to get much done with the lack of lighting in the garage and the poor weather we've been having Which also means there is a lack of picture updates.
Managed to get the back all back together this week. I'm hopefully going to have the side skirts and trim on this weekend.
I noticed some of the paint on my rocker had gone a bit nasty and seeing as I cant do much with this weather I had a go at some wrinkle paint.
I will try and get some more pictures of the work done so far this weekend.

What an awesome project
That jig you got to get the car onto its side, what is it called exactly? I wouldn't mind one, how does it work? does car need to be bare shell to do that?

. Everyone tells me I need a 90spec bits on it, but I don't want it to look like a ringer Even if that does mean I have to listen to "nice xr3 mate" whenever I'm out in it!Its just bolts to the hubs, then jack it up and push it over.
Doesn't need to be a bare shell, although It would make pushing it over easier!. You just have to remember to completely drain all the fluids.
