I thought I might as well start another project thread on a car that should have long been scrapped. :cry:Ive had it for years and the last five years its been sat in a damp council garage. It's in a right sorry state but I haven't got the heart to scrap it. So I decided to make a start last weekend assessing how bad it:
Attachment 30733
Attachment 30734
Attachment 30735
Attachment 30736
And on with the repairs. I'm starting with the inner and outer full sills as even the rear quarter is shot:

Attachment 30724

Awesome work mate, alot of progress there and now nice and solid for another 25 odd years. :agree::)
The rotten list :
Front and back bumper points
Windscreen surround
Headlight panels
Corner of roof
Inner and outer sills
Boot floor
Front drivers floor pan
Rear inner wheel arches
:sad2:
Top effort! :agree: Are you doing the work outside?
I guess a lot 5's left on the road have either had this work done or will need it in the not so distant future. Have you ever tackled anything like this before?
And on with the other side:-
Attachment 30765
Attachment 30766
Attachment 30767
Attachment 30768
Just waiting on a rear quarter panel to replace and finish the drivers side.
Yes matey all outside I'm afraid. Best I can at the moment as I have a garage full of other 5's.:crap:Quote:

can I ask as you have done a few what's the best way or to use to fit the arch body kit back as my screws were no good once removed?
I recommend you go go Halford and buy the plastic number plate nut and bolt kit. Cut the head off the bokts and bond in the bolts on the arches and use with the plastic nuts. You can do the same with the main body kit too at the bottom although just use the bolt and nuts complete. Alternatively buy some plastic threaded bar with nuts.Quote:
