burty Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks lads the amount of driving up and down the country I've done is frightening Also got myself this fuel tank I can't express how immaculate it is its dust on the tank in the pictures unsure wether to fit it while the cars being done underneath or wait till the current one gives up the ghost Also the tte lip is back from being repaired at the fibre glass place and has been reinforced on the corners to aid fitting and add strength Edited September 23, 2021 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 The journey around the country continues picked up a set of replacement glass as one of mine is badly scratched and since the glass is coming out for the respray may aswell replace them with a full set as they have age related marks on them also picked up a optional extra that compliments the oem head unit Passenger window is slow so also picked up a great condition replacement Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burty Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Body work update The SR is finally making progress the outer arches arnt bad at all its the inners that needed work and the sill ends so joe cut out the outers to expose the inners no suprise there is a decent amount of rust out came the grinder and started to patch it starting at the lower points near the sills after going at it with a screw driver it fell away... Fortunately the sills are in decent condition but they are coming off to protect the inners and do the appropriate repairs it's a big project and is gonna take some time if anyone knows of some solid inners let me know if not Joe's gonna fabricate some new ones Edited November 7, 2021 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 This thing is going to be amazing once it's done. Great effort to keep her on the road- think how many have been scrapped over the years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 So it's been I while since I updated this few bits worth a mention is I've managed to source some inner arches that are solid from a good friend on here this will save so much time rather than fabricating some the donor car clearly had been garaged most of its life one of the cleanest shells I've ever seen it was great fun cutting them out seeing how thin they are was an eye opener though Also bought some parts I absolutely do not need but couldn't say no to some mint OEM wind deflectors with clips and not at over inflated prices Thanks to both of you for helping out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burty Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Few updates to speak of still moving on just slowly Firstly i wanted to inspect the inner sills so off came the outers im replacing these anyway even though they look perfect from the outside ..................... just goes to show things are not always what they seem can imagine theres a lot more like this without even knowing Edited July 8, 2022 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) This exposed the inners that showed mainly surface rust and small area needing some TLC near the rear arch where it meets the sill thankfully overall they are in decent condition so was repaired welded and treated ready to be rust proofed Edited July 8, 2022 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
