Looking good mate, your guy has done a great job
Cheer bud, Dal has worked wonders on this so far. No doubt i made the right decision and didn't take it to someone else.
Long overdue for an update or 10 so will do a catch up later when i'm home
Onto september 2018

So that came out and got replaced with new sheet metal. The other front inner panel wasalso replaced with a new part and the pass. side A piller got the same treatment as the drivers did the month before

Must be satisfying to see all the shiny new metal in place of the rust :thumbs:
Definitely is but I wasn't expecting quite so much.
Its getting really painful on the wallet now!

Mate, that's gonna outlive you...
Can't wait to see the end result.
Not really much of an update, no pics anyways.
Having started taking back all the parts that I took home during Dals workshop move everything is now in place to carry on.
The front end can now be sorted - tubed and mocked up. The rear axle can have the pcd re-drilled to a decent one that's awesome for future wheel choice.
Decided to go with an s13 power steering set up as that is easily available and will also use s13 driveshafts/rack.
The rest will be sorted as and when i guess!!!
Slightly more of a project than you first thought
Just a little but I wasn't blind going in to this. Just wasn't expecting the extent of structural and bodywork required prior to getting ti this point.
It’ll be fantastic when it’s done

Starting the tubed front end. Should be on its own wheels by christmas i guess
Are you still using Photobucket??
Why?? It's a hateful site.
Too many pics to transfer elsewhere now.
When i get time I may go back through and transfer somewhere else and relink
7 months late but i will update this thread starting later tonight.
In the process of adding all my amazon pics to a new image hosting site that hopefully wont kill the quality anymore than my potato phone and Photobucket did.
