Looking Good! Look forward to the update

[Shifty]

I'm sure I've seen that car somewhere before???

[Pitcrew6464]

oooooooo cool

[analogue_radio]

Few little switches I won from Ebay, couple of quid each so worth a punt.





Autoplas dashboard, smeared in some horrible polish. It'll more than likely be painted body colour.



Empty garage!



B has been demoted to the other garage, whilst her fate awaits.





And then Shifty turned up



Pushed into the garage!







And let the work begin she is on my GBs now as well, Shifty delivered it on his Minilites. Really chuffed with how they look.





General shots.







Even had power! The engine didn't run though, few vital bits not hooked up! But it was amazing for some 'life' to be in the garage.



Shifty even left me some free stuff

[analogue_radio]

Engine bits coming out.





Interior coming out, there was more in there but I deleted a picture accidentally!



Starting to pile up.



Keeping organised Learnt my lesson after taking B apart!




More to come tomorrow

[Shifty]

Crap!!

Thats one of my panel beating wedges!!

I'll have to get that off you!!

(the rest of the free stuff you can keep!!)

You have been busy, he really is a cracking shell though.

Not enough I'm slowly taking over the whole house with mini parts.. will have to wait until it's back on the road before I had a big clear out and sell bits. Unsure what will and won't be needed at the moment.

Looking great Luke, nice garages aswell.

Thanks mate

Another update, back at Uni now





I put my GBs on the back as well, to make it easy to roll out. For some reason a previous owner of the GBs decided to angle grind into one of the tires



Rolled out.



Didn't use the engine crane in the end, couldn't find anything to hand that would be strong enough to use as straps. So it was lifted up and over by me and my little brother.





Think we got to here and realised that I'd still left a few things connected



And down safely!



Then Dad and I tediously shuffled the engine back into the garage, followed by the shell.



Was so close to completely stripping it! If I had had more hours I could've easily done it! Suppose I've only got the rear subby and a few odd engine bay bits to unbolt. Will only take a day when I'm back for Christmas.



So thats that for now

[Shifty]

Bleeding hell you've been busy!!

If you look closely at the picture of the engine you can see the new waterpump and blue silicon bypass hose i fitted!!!
