Hey Mate,

That's great. Can you tell me where you got it from?

Cheers

Matt

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

great looking project, your shells are in so much better condition over there than ours, looking forward to the updates

Jesus, yours must be fucked then as mine was one of the worst I've seen for a while! Mind you we don't salt our roads over here as it kills the koalas and kangaroos! Lol

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Bit of an update.

Here is the infill we did for the tubs



Then we started looking for rust and have found lots



Repaired the drivers side footwell



Grinding and finding rust and bog.....soo much bog

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Few more things

Had to cut holes in the roof to get at the roll cage to finish off welding it



Onto the front where we cleaned up the front panel

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Thanks mate, hopefully end of week we'll dry build the car then might get it all sandblasted to ensure there's no surprises to pop up in the future.

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Thanks mate, they look pretty good. The plan atm if to find another spoiler and use the blade and make some side supports. Time will tell if we can find anything.

Thanks heaps

That was my original plan//but decided to make my own...hope it works out...cheers mark

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Bit more rust replacement

Left hand rear wells all fixed



Rear left quarter panel all cleaned up



After the holes in the roof were welded up there was a bit of deformity going on....This'll need a bit of work to fix

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Next step is to dry build the car so we know everything fits and then it time to prep and paint...

Thanks for looking

Matt

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

zooming along now...the dry build will look cool...always a shame to dismantel again...hope the roof works out....i normally do it the opposit way .cut the hole in the floor and drop the cage....cheers mark

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Yeah, in hindsight we should have done that method too. Oh well....
