the rust i found! ouch!!





















well looks pretty fucked i think! so out comes the welding! , a mate of mine danny was busy for a fair old hours! ,



















well theres a few bits thats been done, got a few other pics somewhere cant remmember what i done with them but slowly reviving her bike to life! ,

all sealed up now , arches etc all done just need 2 new front wings then ready to go body shop get sprayed up! , so slow progress as lack of funds! , but what you guys think? , will get there in the end!:)

[daymo69er]

nah he dont do it for a living he owns his own car garage and he done it privately for me since hes the one whos done all the work on my car so i get him to do everything, a fair few quid ive spent on her now! ,

very very nice work, there, that amount of rust would have put many people off so respect to you for getting it repaired

do you know a friendly bodyshop also to finish off and paint ?

great work mate

well after doing the conversion, etc it cost me so much money was to far into it to just say scrap it,

belive it or not it failed mot on , near side front suspension component mounting prescribed area as excessively corroded,

but i said to him take off the side skirts, plastic trims, jack it up on ramps completely check it through and found out basically it was a shed..... so i just went i dont want it back untill its finished! completely solid etc, at this time i had quickshift fitted, new heater matrix, fixed my temp guage, fitted new rear shocks, and all undersealed,

umm i got my eyes on someone to do the bodywork etc, but its alot of money and with loosing my job cars just sat on my drive, as no insurance on it, ! , but i will get there aventually! ,

hope the job situation sorts it's self out and you can save some ££

thanks mate, not many people appreciate what ive done lol! , all ive heard is you're wasting your time/money, scrap it and all that, sort off , off putting really! ,

people ask me how much i think its worth etc, i dont have a clue on the value of these or what there going for, but i think its more sentimental now, only owned the car for a year now !

but thanks mate, really appreciate your opinion! ,
