No worries john you know where i am

 

Cheers Lee, top man

 

nice work fella

 

hmm, those pics remembers me @ something i've seen before somewhere

nice mate, very nice, keep up the good work

 

Well ive just finished the diff, I was going to replace all the drive shaft washers but a full set is Ł45 and im not that sad... yet

Once pay day comes around again things are going to move faster as the underside is getting welded and painted this month as I want the dam thing ready for the spring!! I also have new calipers and disks on the way so should look the bollox

 

thats going to look wicked when all back in

 

I have had a result and have found a good donor car for the rails, its a 91 2000e which were quite rare so im told but im no expert..

I have also striped out the head lining from this and loads of screws and fixings. The rear underside is mint!! I only wish i had found this before as i would have taken all the rear beam and arms too

When the guys ready to take it down the scrapy im going to follow with a great big petrol cutter and get the rails before the cars gone for good.

 

Chops any parts i can nab for my 3dr off the donar?

Looks like it has ABS?

Quite badly need a few bits

 

Yep it sure does Ryan. Let me know what you want

 

 

Looking good chops, i've given up on the scrap yard owner cutting my sections out so i'm doing it myself this week with a petrol cutter! I'll get some pics up in mine when i've cut them out!

 

That would be great if you could Nosrst, how are you planning to cut and weld in to the car? Cut through the car shell or go in at 90 degrees across the box section near where it joins the car?

 

Unpick the original welds mate, do that with both the old and the new.

To get the new section out of the donor i'll just cut at it from back to where it starts before rear footwell, then unpick the welds on the chassis rails afterwards. Removing the original Cossie ones will take slightly more time as it needs to be a bit neater.

 

OK Nosrst let me know how you get on. cheers

 

I have some more parts building up now, I also have a chappy in the garage at the moment welding away wont be long now..

 

Piccys we want piccys

 

Going to look spot on
Will be doing mine next winter

 

chops whos doing the welding?

looking good mate

 

Piccys on the way Twins!! Ryan, It was a local chap that was recomended called Mobile Weld. Did a good job and was quite cheap to boot.

CosKev its well worth doing, im just affriad i will end up driving it even less this year as i wont want to get it dirty

 

You big bufty john..

 

Well Im getting there finally!! the underside is welded, rust treated, seamsealed and now stone chiped!! paint tomorrow

 

Get some pics on john

 

Well paint is on!!

its moonstone but a tad darker than my car but is fine for the underside.
