here she is my first cossie a white 2wd saph (rolling shell) .got her today some may reconise it from a member on here "mattbaxter" cheers bud.

Have a few plans for it. ive started sourcing parts already.Going to get started on her friday with the resto then building her back up as and when the parts arrive.

well my day started with this



then my mate came with his truck and off we went on our 180 mile trip to matt's

then i forgot about taking pics loading her up etc lol
too busy having a nose at the lovely black saph
lucky enough matt was on the case as we was leaving with this pic.


then back on to our 180mile trip back again 3hours later and she was at her new home .(then forgot to take pics unloading itlol)
and this is how she sits now ready for the ful treatment.ill let the pics do the talking now. bring on friday cant wait

Good luck with it and keep the updates coming!

Munch

i thought it was scrap hencing him buying Loaders shell? lol

sortedsaff

going to start underneath get the beam off etc have a search around for tin worm see if any weldings needed get her painted up white under there .get bream arms etc painted up just really mint it up not going too mad though as it will get some abuse lol. and then source and add the parts she needs and build her up

engine wise im on the look out for one at the moment not in no rush as shes not going anywhere yet but going to find a good lump .to start im only going to get her stage 1/2 and that will do for me well untill the bug hits i suppose lol

sortedsaff

looks far from scrap to me lol

Munch

well i didnt mean scrap...scrap lol, just was rotton somewhere, hence him buying the black one...


Well it should be an intresting project, look forward to seein the updates!

sortedsaff

its got a few bubbles on the roof think the sunroof's leaking but no worrie to me. and tiny little bit on one door . easy sorted and from what i can see underneath looks real solid its had a patch or 2. but looks good .to be fair i will probly re-do what has been done and blend it in abit more so it not so noticible underneath.

Munch

well little update had a hour spare today and couldnt wait to get something done.

it started really taking everything out of the car laying it out seeing what ive got/missing etc


then thought id have a good snoop around the floors .
boot floor real clean just starting to bubble

whole floor

and here is the grot i found


now this bit in the pass footwell looked abit iffy to me

couldnt help but investigate

fibre-glass oh lovely lol
so started chipping out to see how bad it was

all of it out

so out came the welding gear

and patched up

and thats how i had to leave it ran out of time for today.

ill get cracking on friday and get that finished off and other 2 bits done. not bad really could have been worse

Matt Baxter

its cool bud the pics make it look far worse than it is i mean the bit i done hadnt gone all the way through but done it properly anyway just got to finish that bit off . and the drivers seat mount isnt really rotten just flaking abit but it will all get the treatment so i know then that its all 100% and then can finally respray the whole floor inside will look mint.
