Just thought I would start a new thread for me latest project.Set myself a complition date for October 2011(ish).
First hurdle is registration, then its full steam ahead.
Just thought i would add some new pics of the sedan.hoping to lift the body off in the next week or so,but you no how these things go.....
Been in the Garage all day today, and as true Brits do have been sorting out some Yanks c*ck up's.Why do they use so so much Bondo.The ridge in between the two panels was nearly half an inch deeeeep.
So I've cut along the weld and panel beatan the rear quarter out so that its level with the roof skin.
Been in the garage again today and ripped the motor and trans out.Ive decided to draw doodles on the body to represent the sort of mood/day ive had.
Here is tonights pictue....
Had to cut a patch off or more like a piece of steel that had just been welded over the top of two panels.I've cut out a new patch a butt welded it in so that its now flush.Less lumps underneath means less filla on the top.Well thats the thiking behind it.
No doodle tonight but just some updated topless pics.Enjoy

Thanks Mick.
These were taken after the gang had left after drinking me tea and eating all me bickies but hey not a bad price to pay for the generous offers of lifting the body off the chassis.Next step is build a jig to mount the chassis to before I start taking out all the centre members and boxing the chassis in.
O. and in the back ground is another project waiting to happen.88 escort van.been owned by the garage from brand new and never had a break pipe.
Cheers Marcus
Lets get Jiggy-Jiggy
Spent most of this weekend trying to knock up a jig to mount the chassis on so i can remove all the centre members and box the chassis in.Then replace the centre members in the right places for the new engine/gearbox and suspension.
