Right bit of an update now after not doing anything for well over a week apart from moving it round my unit after just dumping it in!

As you may have read, i have now got a 2nd shell which is in better condition than the first, less damage to it as in both rear 1/4 panels are perfect apart from a slight bubble on one and the heated screen is in one piece which is good news

Also came with the shell was the following:

Full interior loom
Digital engine bay loom
bent rear beam complete with one stub axle and one alloy (can be straightened)
bent drivers door complete with handle and all electrics
fuel filler flap
fuel tank with pump (and some fuel - although its prob stale now)

For the complete shell i paid basically the going rate for the engine bay loom so it doesnt cost me a penny realistically after i have sorted the bits i need and sold off the remaining bits.

I got the shell back to the unit sunday and just left it on the trailer for the evening so it looked like this:




Then Monday with the help of a couple of people we set about moving everything round in the unit so that the new shell was in the middle of a row of cars (well 2 shells and a complete racing puma) and the donor racing puma at the back much to the amusement of one of the helpers as all he could say was "your bloody mad you are! mad!"

anyways after a short time it was in and the pair snuggled up together to keep my mates drift car project company



Wednesday eve was allocated to strip all the remaining bits i needed off out the way and establishing exactly what was needed to repair the shell as unfortunatly this had had a slight bump also - but no where near as involved or time consuming repair as no 0336

So after all the sound deading and wiring etc was removed the damage is pretty much superficial apart from a slight dent in the sill which will be replaced along with the inner arch panel which will also be replaced, the chassis leg etc is all perfectly striaght its just low down damage from the lower arm bending the wheel into the inner arch ( best bit is though that its not as if im short of panels as i have a fiesta shell and also a 2nd racing puma to get the best bits off!!!






So basically thats the update for now, once work commences on the new shell the reapir should be quite quick, although it will have to be as im moving to the unit next door some time next month so no pressure!!!
