  1. Looking good man, going to be a very clean ep by the time you have finished.........wish I had the patience to do something like this lol

    Cheers mate not so much patience but trying to do right the first time instead of the funking about I did with it before if that makes sense !? Got a few drinks in me!! Haha

  2. Wee bit of progress today: shell out the booth, stripped the rear end of the car, I knew I had a panard rod but found out today it a cusco one witch is a bonus need a very good clean! Haha

    All the dripped parts are going to the powder coaters on Monday along with the front end parts that I will strip tomorrow, the parts that I need to get the shell rolling.

    Could any one tell me if I car powder coat the petrol tank (will it affect any seals with the heat?)

  4. Got the shell on it side to strip the under side for stone chip and paint, both captive nuts had spun in the lower arm mounts so had to cut a hole to weld on some new ones. Quite happy with my work as I've not done any welding and fabrication in about 9 years! Haha

    Here's a few pics:
