Quality work. Braver man than I am doing that roof swap!!! And as said, you sure soldier on! Wicked stuff!!!

Bit of an update.

 

last bits of welding left on the list to do:

 

Small hole at the front of the passenger wing

 

Repair the headlight ring on the passenger side 

 

Repairs to the front indicator here the front pannel meets the wing

 

 

 

With all the welding finished it was time to fill the blemishes on the car and give it a coat of etch primer.

 

 

 

 

The underneath of the car fully under sealed.

 

 

 

 

The Car is pretty much ready to be completly spayed in high build primer tomorrow.

 

 

 

Whilst we were at stanford hall we picked up a couple of bargins.

 

We got  front and rear bumpers for the gt for £45.

 

 

 

the rear bumper was a powder coated grey when we got it, but when the powder coating was removed and after a quick polish on the wheel was a lovely chrome bumper!

 

and lastly picked some new front indicactors up for £50.

 

cant get the photo at the moment the laptops dicking about!

 

More to follow.

Nice project that's what I need decent bumpers for my gt

[pickupmad87]

Update time.

 

little lacking on photos, but the under neath of the car has been sprayed 

 

 

 

 

 

now the underneath was painted the rest of te car was masked off ready to spray the primer on.

 

 

 

with the car primed the interior, boot and engine bay have been sprayed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with that done we built a wooden base abit lower than the trolley to ease subframe fitting.

 

 

 

 

then the subframes were stripped from the "spare mini" to turn it into a roller. then the spare mini was turned upside down to stop it filling with water!

 

 

then she rolls again!!

 

 

 

 

all ready for being picked up next week to be taken down to my dads mates spray shop to do the body paint. its too dusty to be able to get a good enough finish in the workshop.
