Rusty bits of Mk1
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2006 12:07 am
As you can see
she didn't look too bad after a wash and brush up, but time has taken it's toll. But with only
genuine miles on the clock I really want to put her back to her former glory. So work will begin next time home.
Engine out from bay complete with suspension, then sand blast everything back to bare metal, weld repair as much as I can with limited experience, adjust rear inner arches so no scrubbage. Replace shocks, keep springs as they are OK, renew bushes and handbrake cable, zinc galvanise, prime, underseal, paint and waxoil. Should be back on the road for summer if not sooner. New inner wings and sills already bought, just need to see if I can do something with the rear jack points. Anybody got any ideas. I have heard you can get Mk2 bits and modify them pretty easy is that true?
Progress report and pictures to follow in about 3 to 4 weeks

I have redone all the pictures from photoshack so hopefully you will be able to see them all. I will leave it up to you to decipher which bit of the car they are
