Yeah the arch was under the plastics which were stuck on!!
|
:shocked: Got you work cut out there ,looks like the boot floor rust was covered up with the sound proofing
|
the rust strikes again,you will get there in the end,just do it properly.
|
you should have some good practice at welding looked quiet good b4 youstripped it keep the updates coming :grin:
|
Heres just a few more pics of just how bad the rust actually is. carn't belive that it had an mot before i ripped it apart only on road for 3 months. how do you get a years ticket with all that rust i wonder!!!!
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/100_0233.jpg Inside front arch http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/100_0246.jpg Sunroof water ways http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...s/100_0256.jpg Drivers floor pan http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...709_160702.jpg N/S Chassis rail http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...80709_2016.jpg O/S Chassis rail http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...709_201601.jpg Rear quarter http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...709_160802.jpg O/S sill http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...709_160801.jpg Inner O/S front wing! All the red oxide is just where i've cleaned it up to see the extent for time beein!!!! Shocking :fume:All this with an M.O.T!!!! |
think i would just reshell that mate
|
Its Not Dead its in for cosmetic surgery, No graveyard just yet.
|
i'd be re-shelling that one im afraid!
much easier to start with a clean shell! |
yeah even if you looked for a basic 1.3 popular or something to reshell to, thats harsh that is.
|
yeah i know that would just not be genuine. bit of hard work never hurt anyone :grin:
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...Postbanner.jpg |
wheres the fun in a reshell!!that can be made good as new with a bit of hard wrk, if u can weld its gonna cost u next to nothing
|
good luck with it mate, theres a fair bit of work there.
|
mate dont reshell it! just stick with it:top:
|
its only metal mate, just cut the old shite out and weld in nice new stuff but do it right my man, as long as you have the patience to finish it, this is how we keep the RS badge alive my friends
|
Just found the pics of the underside before and after!

Really cheeky, but have you sent it to the scrappy yet? If not could i come round and whip a couple of bits off the shell to save mine with, just need the bits underneath the front footwell, they look in good nick in the pics. |
