Hi guys,

 

My new shell came today, from sussex stu.

 

so got on a mission, took the doors, bonnet, wings, tailgate off.

swapped them with my ones.

 

stripped the engine bay, got to jet wash it tomorrow.

 

Removed rear diff, subframe, got to remove front cross member in the morning thrn stonechip arches and underneath the whole car.

 

one of the sills were dented, from a jack and I've sorted that.

 

Heres a couple of pics, I'll put some more up tomorrow.

I know about half a tank it was scary wire brushing it on a grinder...

I was waiting for the bang.

I've always heard its best to leave quite a lot of fuel in there cause an empty one is more likely to go bang....gonna post some more pics up in a few minutes.

Heres a couple more pics, painted steering rack, had some silver so used that up.

 

the front cross members, i used my grinder with a wire brush and then etch primered them and finished them in stonechip, hopefully it will last and be more stone resistant.

 

its starting to look like a car again, well heres the pics anyhow...

Its a pain laying under the car with wire brush on a grinder.

Just cleaning any rust with my grinder with a wire brush on it, etch primered the metal and black stonechip,

 

Used dinitrol on the last shell, and now using mipa stonechip from local paint supplier its much cheaper and I can't tell no difference

 

used compressor and schutz gun...
