Its out of an E39 bmw, it does weigh alot less then a full cossie setup but will be a nightmare to graft it into a sierra shell.

Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty beefy,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty beefy, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, beefy.
Let me love you.

rear arch


various floor pics ....







inner sills will be replaced even though weve seen a whole lot worse lol




if your wondering why the rear of the floor , i.e the boot section wasnt blasted thats simple , because its getting removed and replaced so there seemed no point in doing it ,

shells surprisingly in good nick , few areas we knew about but some we were surprised with , alot of shoddy welding and patches that will be replaced and redone but i suppose it comes with buying something someone else done

only one bit or weak metal was a bit of perfration in the drivers footwell



still im still in very good spirts , tomorrow will be removing the sealer the blasting didnt , he could have but i specified not to be overy agressive on the metal , its eaiser to wire bush then to replace blew through panels lol

so what ya reckon , the makings of a show car or what

not to fear lads the inside and bay , arches are all in etch now
the floor will be done tomorrow as im waiting on the spit to come bk to the unit ,

but as said in etch now lol ,just happens the etch is grey lol
