I have been a member for some time now and have recently found myself using the site more and more frequently, the knowledge of some of the guys on here is second to none and for that reason i thought it was about time i posted up my project so i can make the most of your knowledge and experience
i am by no means a mechanic, actually studied computers at university and now work as a fire safety advisor, i have picked up metal fabrication and mig welding while working on this project, its by no means perfect but its my hobby
i picked up this shell around 18 months or so ago, it was in such a mess... the pics dont really show just how bad it was, im no expert but the previous repairs were terrible and everywhere i looked there was metal plated over the top of rot.
I am told she was originally a 1300GT but i had round headlamps, bubble arches and a 2.0 pinto in mind so it wont be retaining many of its original features
This is me like a dog with 2 dicks, happy with my new purchase
i couldn't get much done on the car for a while as it was stored about an hours drive away so i started working on some bits at home,
my fiance and i reconditioned the 130mph clocks that were fitted in the car
i repaired and re-covered the cracked dash top
Then started messing about with sheet metal
Steel bubble arched one of my front wings (but have since bought fibreglass) not sure on which i'll be using just yet
all my interior bits re-conditioned
