it looks like the seat bolster is the problem with the centre console sitting over mate, but i have to say that car looks stunning and the trim has transformed it 100%

Ok been a while but ive decided to strip the underside, not going for a blinged up underside its just purely preventative maintenance, bare metal to remove and rust from getting worse, and powder coat the rusty bits
Jacked it up and put it on axel stands, removed the wheels and bumpers
Its not toooo bad atm, this is inside the front wheel arch where they rot
Still the front arch
Looks like sombodys had a go a long time ago

Can any help? The long bolt that holds the diff on seem to be stuck tight, ive removed the bolt off the end but its just not budging, is the somthing im missing?
Also I ordered a light to work on the car off ebay and it arived damaged so I contacted the seller and they sent another two out for some reason, so 3 lights for Ł20, canny score
Also one of the axle coming out, everyone seems to upload these so I thought I may as well
And a perk of work is we have a sand blaster so I tested it on a hub, I did take it to bits I just loosly put it back together here

Ok so ive been in the garage for a couple of hours tonite, removed the power steering rack as it leaks and uses more fluid than petrol
Also started on the rear arch, I had hoped to have it all bear metal by christmas but jeeez this stuff it tough to remove, wire wheel just seems to move the seam sealer about
80% done
Also found this
Ill leave it till last incase anything else pops up
Also my dusty pants,
Can any tell me how to remove this conector on the end of the fuel line?

Ok so this has got me puzzled, why has sombody fitted a different rear Anti Roll Bar(ARB)? im asuming this isnt standard 3door.
It looks like there can be 2 fixings for the ARB the original then these extra one that have been welded on
Standard and a blurry picture of the other ones
Looks like this has been added, im sure its not standard

Not much of a update on the car, still removing underseal, and still need to findout how that fuel line unconnects.
Just wanted to mention some essential equipment for the job
Number one is taking the car to bits, I bet this has saved may rounded bolts and skinned knuckles
Number two, removing the underseal causes alot of dust, dirt, smoke and noise. So PPE

Ok so things slowed down abit over christmas but i still done some bits on the car but ill wait till theres some half decent pictures took, i got all the underseal off and cut a couple of rusty bits out and after failing to find someone i trust to come to the house and do some welding i went and bought my very own MIG
And my first attempt on a scrap bit pannel
Ive ordered a auto dimming welding mask to make the job abit easyer and ill then have two hands free

Well i though id bite the bullet and try my welding on the car as i was sick of practicing, heres my first patch i made up and welded in, im chuffed with how it turned out. I just need to find something to get on to grind the welds flat.
Also just had a bill thats double i was expecting of Bara Motorsport.
