my other money pit

Post by RSZETEC »

i bought this thinking it would only take about 2 months worth of work #-o
Image
Image
then i found this
Image
and so a proper restore/rebuild/modifying frenzy begins 8)
Image
Image
Image
Image
replaced that bashed 1/4 with the free one that came with the car(been sitting for 15+years before i bought it)
Image
Image
Image
Image
tried repairng the wings with a few plates
Image
and found more rust
Image
welded in a new arch and new bottom corner
Image
Image
more rust #-o
Image
wasnt happy with the repair on the wings so i cut them off and sorted that hole properly
Image
Image
Image
a load of primer to keep more rust away
Image
Image
and i think my welder is dying but i managed to sort that rust in the corner :lol:
Image
moving house so........
Image
at rest for now :D
Image

plans for now are to cut out any more rusty metal and weld in nice new shiney metal then get a few mods done, mex splitter, 2.0 pinto engine or possibly zetec engine running on carbs, lowered on some nice 15" deep dish wheels, and 4 spotlights on the front

basically this is what i want it to look like altho i want doesnt get :lol:

not to bad really, did a leakdown test before i pulled the head off and no.3 cyl was a bit dodgy but nothing that wont prevent it working ok, no1 cyl was full of crap and carbon but apart from that its ok

anyways heres some more updates now ive finished driving a ride on lawnmower sideways in the snow :lol:
this sides more or less done apart from the rear door being bent
Image
found a carpet tht just about fits
Image
and painted the rear panel and fitted my new free fuel tank
Image

now im off to go and crash the vectra into some snow mounds we made with the digger :lol:
