Sweet looking 88 spec before. Hope you keep it that way and keep the updates going. Just started my resto thread on here as GGR S2 so bound to be asking lots of questions.

Lads the car looks nothing like before, and will look even better than ever once its finished. You should really check out the resto on the RSOC forum.

Jesus christ, that was rotten to fuck. It looked so good when Liam had it at the shows, just goes to show what lies beneath. To be honest i'd of chucked the towel in if i owned that.
Still it looks pukka nowadays.

with all the welding done i started on the underside
sand blasted the underside
it found a few more bits of welding but in all was pretty good
gave the underside a good coat of 2k epoxy primer , this is used to paint shipping containers so its good stuff
these parts you can see that i did not prime are poor previous chassis repairs that i will rework

found a pic of the roof welded on
i prepped and painted the underside ,engine bay and inside
i used 3m stone gaurd on the underside before painting
the sharpe eyed ones will have noticed its not mercury grey , its a Ral colour none metallic grey
the shockers needed a fettle so i prepped and painted these a lighter grey and powder coated the springs black
and after the work
i started to fit a few refurbed parts that i removed from the red car
