Cheers John,.. yeah those trailer guards are really handy.. may even build a nice trailer with them one day!

Hi,

a couple of small updates.

finished off the rear quarter (Drivers side) and rear beaver so that's the rear end, sills and floors done.

POR 15'd inner.



rear quarter on



scuttle was rusty, so I got a good replacement off DatsAndy (thanks!).

but first I have to fix the plenum chamber.

starting on one side.



then I removed the engine bay brace and fixed it up.
still a work in progress but it's getting there now.



Cheers

Ed

cheers

Ed

Lookin good Ed. I wish I could say I was close to the end of my rust repairs!

I'm a bit scared of what mine will look like under the scuttle. It has the tell tale rust spots inside under the dash support.

Keep it up!

Shoota,

thanks mate,

I am so tired of fixing rust at the moment... I reckon I've spent over 200 hours, 3 x E size Argoshield refills, about 7.5kg of welding wire, 20 flap discs, 20 cut off wheels... this is probably familiar for all the guys here as well lol

got to do some minor rust around the strut towers, and then stitch the scuttle on and make up the ends.

do the doors and then on to the smooth and paint side of things.. cant wait.

im sure a couple of things will surface as I strip the paint.

Cheers

Ed

Made a little progress.

Stripped back the old paint and etch primed. priming as I go to avoid oxidation of the panels.

tub stripped back



roof stripped back



ready for paint on one side.. just scuffed the new panel back.



etched on one side (protec etch pro)



Cheers

Ed

Hi,

it's been a while between updates.

in the meantime ive been smoothing panels, sanding, hifilling, more sanding.

I got a bit eager with colour and decided to shoot the base onto the interior. While the interior isnt perfect (panel wise), I like the colour. it's going to be 2 tone, black over burgundy with a white pin stripe.







Cheers

Ed

wow, i have only JUST started to look at your build and i am really jealous of how quick your doing yours haha. i am lucky that mine is pretty much clean of rust but its still a #OOPS# load of work. keep up the good work mate.
