Millbanks S13

[Millbank]

Sold my blue S13 last Saturday and waved goodbye as the new owner drove it off into the distance. Quite far into the distance actually.. The Shetland Isle's
I had already put a deposit down on the new toy. Bought from the Sxoc for sale section, Unfinished project for sale.
After looking at the car briefly and knowing what parts I was getting with the car I knew it was a must.
I have since collected the car and had a better look at the underside and was happy that all the chassis legs were in good condition and very little rust, a grin was growing on my face.....until. On closer inspection and a lot of poking with a screw driver I have found an awful amount of rust in and around the rear and sills.
Never mind out came the grinder and welder.
Few photo's of what I bought and rust before and after.

All the rust is now gone and engine is complete. Had trouble with manifolds. All of them are putting my exhaust turbo elbow in/ on my gearbox. Seem to have gotten around this but a bit annoying.
