Yeah - I was so p*ssed of with it over winter so sat around and did nothing to it for 3 months lol. Had two weeks of sun now and done more in that time than the past 3 months of snow!

Cheers. Yeah hopefully just getting everything covered, its one thing thats p*ssed me off over the last year with the interior, hopefully it wont have to be touched again now and the paint will stay on!
Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild]
After days and days of sanding and hoovering, its ready for paint which is happening this weekend. Thanks to Adam and Sim for helping out over the few days, would have taken 10x longer otherwise lol.
Original seat bars now fully gone...
Didnt even know about it lol, its pretty w**k that since the regional forums have been made any posts/threads from them dont show on the 'Forum Home', so I miss quite a lot of them.
Was busy sanding the car ready for paint on fridays anyway!

Cars back, although managed to f*ck a driveshaft in the process :(
'Strut Brace' and strut bar holes/gaps plated over...
Floor plates welded over, since sealed over the top which will be sanded flat before paint...
Seat bars...

Apparently the guy said its from an Espace Diesel - I had my valver one with me at the time and checked every dimension - 100% the same!
Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild]
Took the angle grinder to the column before and cut it off completely, as I wasnt 100% happy with the position left-to-right with the seat mounted in place - came out easy enough (ish lol).
Spent a few hours making a new set of column...
Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild]
Welding is nearly complete, both seats have been mounted in and im happy with it - just a few last bits to sort tomorrow hopefully.
In the meantime ive been collecting new parts, something which I did not really want to be having to do but...
