Apologies for the very delayed update , the main cause being bad internet and exams. Not too much to report , got the front panel welded up and solid again to the best of my ability. All panels were hand crafted. Before plug welding on , the inside was well coated with red oxide primer , paint and Wax oil to help prevent further corrosion. Once in place and welded , I gave it a thick coat of oxide primer. Looks good enough I think.














I knew the left wing had a bit of a tip in the past , so got the wire wheel to it to remove all the filler. Badly dented and rust pinholes. Will be ordering two new wings from Rsturbos.co.uk , anyone have any previous experience with this crowd ? and what is the quality of non genuine wings?







A cheap set of Borbets came up on eBay and I couldn't resist the temptation. Think they will suit the car the finest , if she ever gets going . Will be refurbished once the rust is all sorted.








This past weekend , I dropped the front sub frame , engine and gearbox as one. Placed the sub frame back in again , so the car can be somewhat Mobile. Also discovered some corrosion on the back panel , while it was on the lift.
