Had a couple of patches but sound enough, we have a rotating spit now so that will help with welding and painting

We have to trim the lip on the bulkhead to get the engine back as far as we could and weld up

Amazing work you've done on this lads! :) Think it'll be done for the Weekender so?? ;) :sxoc:
On a side note, looking at the pics where you're carving out parts of that minty-mint shell makes me wince... but I know it's for the greater good. :cool:
Cheers JP :) don't think it'll make it to the weekender better to do it right rather than quick, got all the welding with the linked rear and coilovers to do before paint inside and out then wiring and build up

Spent a day building up a spit to rotate car it was a good kit but needed a fair bit of welding a day well spent by Kev http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05...ad5d8a07c0.jpg

This will make the cutting and welding or the rear link kit easier :)

Ace work! You got lucky that the angle grinder didn't do any proper damage, could have been really ugly! Nice job on the spit too, where did you get the kit from? Cheers :D
Cheers yeah got off lightly Kieran got spit not sure where from but went together easy enough, cars been slow progress but will be worth it

It will be a beast when it's done! Good work lads
The comments are encouraging at this stage I sometimes wonder why I didn't buy a quick car just to jump in and go

We all know building it is half the fun even if we do moan about it ;)
Absolutely love this. Alot of commitment from you's guys!
The level of commitment is greatly appreciated not many would put this effort into someone else's car

Ok so first of all me and Kieran had commitments so thought we were all getting a weekend off but Kev decided otherwise and went at the car like a bat out of hell!!! Don't have any explanation just pics

How much filler!!!!
So don't feel as bad cutting this up for the conversion at least when it rolls out it will be mint plus Kev wants to stitch weld engine bay and along chassis rails
Getting there but slow progress

Cracking progress mate, so glad to see this getting the full treatment.
