Hi People,

sorry have not posted for a while,well all the hecticness had died off and the garage block isn't being attacked anymore,thank fcuk

Decided that i wanted to make sure my shell wasnt absolutely rotten,before spending my hard earned £££S on it,so made a start taking off the bumpers and bodykit today.

removed the front bumper to reveal:



(sorry,the pic is after it got anti-rusted lol)

not too bad on the front really.
The side mounts where the bumper scews on underneath the arch:




the other side after a bit off prodding with a screwdriver

The front panel had split so gave it a bit more prodding with a screwdriver lol and endud up with



on the passenger side just behind the front panel,the disease has started to take over,resulting in





really though,it could have been a lot worse. And when i took the inner arch covers off i was very pleased to see







BOOM!! all waxoyled up inners with no rust in sight,now thats what i call nice 1
gonna have the bit behind the front panel done with a new welded in patch,but for now have antirusted every infected part in sight,so hope that will keep it at bay for the time being.

Plans for the morrow are, removing the back bumper and rear inner arch covers and check for rust,also the fuel pump cradle as that looked a bit worse for ware last time i checked.
Want to get the sideskirts off aswel but they're being a bit of a bastard to get off as they were glued on,aswel as the arch covers but theres no rust behind those as far as i can tell.
The underneath looks spot on apart from a tiny bit of surface rust under the sideskirts,hence why i want em off lol
Plan is to give the whole underneath and arches etc another coat of waxoyl anyway to be on the safeside,as well as my respray.(gonna keep it grey).

am finally feeling like am getting somewhere with the car,will update tommorow with more pics.
