superb work guys
Gearbox looks mint as mate shame ant been able to get as much time as dave but ill see you at mine tuesday for some work on mine
need to continue to clean that gear box as i want it painted, to look extra mint.... might have to save the pennys as the car garage want 5k for the paint and rust and restore!!!
Funds arrived, looking at 8400 quid in 50's right now.... im itching to go to the bookies.... i know in my heart that could be trebled, but also the risk factor.
dam my vain attitude to money dam my tight arse nature
5k for paint and 3.4 for the bookies .Whats the problem
That explains the text LOL
id post a pic but i dont wanna look a cooont
Ok the chap came to give me the quote, top bloke.
He worked in africa alot of his life from what i gatherd, and is amazing at body pannle fabrication etc, meaning he does not like to waste any materials.
He assesed the rust.
- Rear quarters
- sill spots
- rear Arch
- windscreen surround
He was very confident he could fix all the rust with out the need for new pannles.
He also said about paint types, one is a base with a top clear coat, the other is 2 solid coats. he said solid would be the best option, and the results are not noticable??
Anyway he quoted 3k for the whole job, thats the welding and spraying the car inside and out/ includeing the bay.
So as 3k was kind of my budget max im happy. Going on the work they have done it looks awsum. so i hope mine turns outthe lickety split
well done, what you doing about interior? You going for minty oe? & Engine bay or for something different?
In two minds, engine is secret squirrel, although it will be a C1j in situ
Interior, im not sure. I love the stripped out look and feel, but for a mint interior all i need is a new drivers seat and passenger side rear door card
Leave it stripped matey but keep your interior stored so you have the option to put it inIn two minds, engine is secret squirrel, although it will be a C1j in situ

with regards to rear 1/4s , mine are also rotton, but i decided to go for new panels even though they could be saved as ideally it looks the easier option, and they are still avalible from renault. Anyway best of luck matey, sure it will look spot on if its an old boy.
Well today parts came through heres some pics. theywill be kept in a lock up away from my house as the garage has twice now had sombody try to break in.
Also POR-15 has arrived and dremmle so im uber busy pics to follow of painted and shiney bits... enjoy the parts
