battery area repaired

making jacking points

Post Wed Nov 02, 2011 6:45 am

Better just to repair the front corners without replacing the jacking points as its them that cause the issue .

Nice work keep the pictures coming.

Nice work! Do you do the metal work yourself?

Post Wed Nov 02, 2011 5:48 pm

Nice work but should have got a new battery tray from the dealers would have been much easier

Post Wed Nov 02, 2011 6:16 pm

yep doing everything myself even the painting!! been doing this since i was wee, the racing pumas one ive done aswell

na it will be less noticable than replacing a whole panel

al throw up some more pics

Nice choice of cars .Does your FRP have the LSD then?

Post Thu Nov 03, 2011 2:01 pm

awesome resto so far keep the pics coming. Mk1 looks sick!

Post Thu Nov 03, 2011 9:37 pm

some nice metal work there

was that a full back panel you cut down or can you just get the lower half?

threads like this make me appreciate how solid my touring is

[quote="csl"]Nice choice of cars .Does your FRP have the LSD then?[/quote

it does!!

yep had to buy a full back panel just for that lower section....its just a heck of alot easier and neater than making one, had to fab in a section for the number plate lights too, didnt change the panel cause i want it to look as origional as possible (body wise anyway)

thanks for all the comments cant wait to get to paint it!

plodding away with the bm ever so slowly

got all the filler work done, had to filler the rear arches as i distorted them doing the inners...origional outers anyway

scuttle is solid

arches got a good few coats around the edges

welded a section in for the rear number plate lights...its actually joint along that edge.. i dont mean the lip!

floor needed doing although it looked ok

my mate had a e34 so i nabbed this off it

flat surround on these ones so i had to get the hammers out
cut out the bad bit

then got this

so next hit is to clear out the car and paint inside the floor and the boot for starters...getting there

Red is just the best colour for Sports by miles. None of your Dullmond Schwartz of Lachs Character here!

Got to agree with that, brilliant red when polished looks superb.

Post Sun Jun 17, 2012 5:48 pm

Nice work here, I'll be spraying my front wings soon, if I'm correct that red oxide primer right? Just reminded my self I should probably do the same to prevent the inevitable!

Good work overall - Brilliantrot?
