[shaggy]

Thanks lads. I will up load lots of pics as I go. Body work wise all I want to do is take the body kit of and get any rust that's there sorted out then sort out the efi.

[shaggy]

So today in the hunt for rust Ive removed the body kit from the 5. Most of the rust is on the rear quarters panels but it also needs front jacking points. The panels Ive got are
Front jacking points
outer sills
Ashys inner sills and rear bumper brackets.

No turning back now mate not a lot at all really considering the age of it mate nothing a good weeks work won't sort out keep the pics coming mate and give me a shout if you need a hand

[Mr Raider]

Doesnt look too bad at all mate, all fixeable. Surprising what the kit hides up, definitely doing the right thing checking for rust and getting it solid again :agree: :)

[Os8472]

There's a lot worse out there that's been braught back to a solid state, keep up the good work fella

[phase i 16 v turbo]

Get cutting Dave. :agree:

[Logg]

Very similar to my rust mate and most is under the kit so you might get away without a huge amount of paint being needed. Are you getting Robbie to do yours?

Here's what happened to mine http://www.rtoc.org/files/index.php?path=Technical%20Files/Logg/Welding%20Feb%202013/

Good luck getting it sorted mate.

Also just shout if there's anything I could help with.

[shaggy]

[philr5t]

Wow how quick was that for a turn around and quality work to well done to both of you come on dave hurry up and get this f***er efi'd :agree:

[Jimmy5]

Wow, some brilliant welding there. Pity I can't find anyone up here to do that kind of work

[Woznaldo]

There's some beautiful work there. I've just cut my LH Sill off to inspect the damage but it doesn't look too bad.

I'm not a welder, so I'll be looking for a friend with the talent before I get a quote from a body shop.

[shaggy]

Ive got the last of the welding pics from rob and ive got the 5 back home.

[shaggy]

And that's it all done and its back home. roll on efi :)
