XR2 Resto
Having admired the quality of workmanship that goes on in some these threads i thought i would start one off of my own.
The story starts about 3 years ago when one winters day i decided to take the car off the road. Still with about 4 months tax and 4 months MoT left.
This is what she looked like then:
So wheeled her into the garage and stripped her of the interior and body kit. Which reveled this:
Driverside sill
Drivers rear arch
Pass side rear corner
Pass side arch
Not very good i was shocked but not supprised tbh. So me and my mate got stuck into things but not for long as he went off to Iraq for 12 months and as he owned the welding gear fook all got done. He also decided to go off travelling for 12 months when he got back as well.
So fast forward best part of 3 years, we finally manage to get time togther and get some work done.
Here is the welding on the passenger side arch
And now for my bits of welding
Drivers sill
The piece of rust claiming to be the old sill
And the rear arch as it stands now
And the rot cut out
Also put my spraying skills into practise and did the front slam panel
Was working in the car last nite romoving the ARB and oops snapped the mounting bolt
Well thats all for now.
