Lovely work, did you bare metal the underside?

Whichever has fuel
I saw the second pic and thought “he’s not saving this, that’s finished!”
Wow!!! Hat’s off to you mate, that’s amazing.

Rear discs are mintexThe rear beam does look lovely freshly powdercoated
What make are those rear discs?
Yea the mains bits went back to bare metal rust converter and then buzzweld products
Yea at first I thought that but I was surprised that the chassis was pretty good condition.

f**k yes! Nice work.
Looks great and having done it I can confirm it’s a hateful yet rewarding job! It looks sketchy as f**k on those axle stands mind!

I see you used SSL Horbury to do your calipers - I've had a few set's done now and I'm always over the moon with the results, and especially for the price they charge.
Took this picture a couple of weeks ago however I had them done over 3yrs ago now and they still look like new.

Your car is so clean Nick, you must do 20 miles a year in it 😂
I managed to get most of it back together still waiting on some parts to arrive.
Looks dodgy on those stands but was solid
Around the fuel cap will be getting cut out and replaced.
Also will be getting some coilovers when decided which ones, anyone got suggestions?
Next job take the engine out and strip/powder coat everything I can.
Not sure what to do with the engine yet was either going to take engine dynamics full rebuild or do compression test and turbo.

I really love seeing these cars being brought back to life, however as I’m sure you will be finding out it is not an easy process and that’s before all your hard work in scouring the net every day to find the parts let alone the cash needed.
Top work from me -
I went a different way with my underneath as we used Gravitex to coat it and then wax oiled in every hole on the hottest day of 2022.
