JaiKai Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The rebuild has finally started today and so far in a few hours I've managed to completely strip the interior. Next job on my list is to get both the bumpers, tailgate and bonnet off. After that i'll work on the body panels and stripping down the engine.

JaiKai Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Old auto gearbox came out today and boy that bugger didn't want to come quietly. I had a seized bolt on the torque converter and it took a lot of mild persuasion to get it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiKai Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 After the box was out I moved on to the engine area again. After draining some fluids the bonnet was off, radiator out and started on the fuel pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiKai Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Few inner engine bay shots and discovered the start of corrosion under the battery area. Hopefully caught it on time and its only surface paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
