All I know is he said he was recovering ok.... He seemed well with his humour on the texts that's for sure so I think he's getting there.

 

One small item arrived today from Alyn was one if his uprated gearbox linkages this should really improve the change.

Looks awsome

 

Thanks chaps

I'm just tidying up the rear lights and roof vent, I notice both have small washers, the lights look like hard foam and the vent has rubber like washers sealing them, are these sort of sealing washers available at all in multi packs etc

Here's what's left of them



The other option is to make some as I have a roll of Butyl Tape which is the black sealant for the rear lights.

 

Truly Epic. I love it......

 

Big update today.... Firstly lets go back in time to see the shell from start to finish. I was taken aback when I looked through the pictures on the camera and realised the extent of the Craig's work on the shell.













Then we get deeper into prep work.

 

 

What you really need is a few more pictures ... I don't know maybe about 100+ more

 

Then rust !

 

Getting there !!!

 

More more more

 

Cor blimey, a bit of work!?

Did you ever consider getting it dipped? There doesn't seem to be much structural rust really.

 

 

Fair play Simon car is looking superb

Owen just had his back and fair play to Craig he really has done a top job

That's going to be a show stopper no questions asked with the amount of time, care and workmanship you've put in to it, keep up the good work bud

 

No that's even more work

 

More

 

That was the type r with the wheel arch work then, he did a great job on those rotten arches

 

Top coat...



















Very comprehensive repair carried out on the shell even though it was in great condition it just goes to show.

 

That's a real comprehensive job and looks top notch - I'd hate to imagine the hours that had gone into that

 

Best SN thread of 2013

 

Jon it shocked me too I'll admit when I looked through the pictures on the camera, I had not realised fully even though I had glimpses of it on my visits up there. I am really chuffed with the workmanship these guys are old school.

 

Just one of many Frayz !

Right hold on I have a progress report now

 

Chop chop

 

First off what you see is not all fully tightened in places so if you spot a loose nut or bolt don't worry... Also the discs are fitted as rotational ones would be but these are just OEM with grooves so they will be coming off to be swapped around.

As you will see Rhys has made some great progress this week.

 

You probably don't want to divulge such information but... how much does this extensive work cost considering there isn't a lot of welding needed?

*drools* clean bits

 

 

I appreciate the question but I'm not going to divulge the costs on the build
Let me just say I'm comfortable with it and also with it in its breakdown of individual sections. I was very lucky with the shell it was in really good condition in many respects even though it was rusty it was not to deep and excessive which helped a lot with the shell work.

 

Is that it? Thought there'd be some pictures to look at.

 

Stunning.
