Haven't got it flipped yet took the bonnet back off and stripped a few bits out the engine bay. Welder a still not fixed and I need to finish small areas of welding before it's turned over !
Does anyone know what holes I need and what ones I can weld up on my bulkhead as I'm going with a mk1 loom as per original

It looks like your doing well on your paintwork by yourself!

Finished welding the wing plugs up and ground them all down !

And welded and smoothed off some holes in the bulkhead

Sorry for poor camera pics I was loosing the light and flash is rubbish on iPhone

Look good there, and i no what you mean about the welding grinding it does seem never ending when you get stuck into a car, hop you manage to get to the end of it soon :)

[minbin 69]

looking good as always mate..you must be getting close to the end of the welding and griding ?

 

as for my paint it looks fine till you get up close..

[ryan22_lgm]

Cheers guys ! I am nearing the end but still have the p/s arch / heel board closer to deal with when it's flipped over! D/s wing and a panel still need grinding :/

Minbin any paint is better than no paint!

[minbin 69]

[ryan22_lgm]

Done a bit today !
Got the roof bars on ready have put some paper between the bar and roof now to stop any dents

Sorted the other wing join welds! Happy with the front now!

Also sorted a issue with the front panel the spot welds had popped apart shows the quality of non gen panels ! :s good job my grandad leaned on it else I wouldn't of found this issue! So I drilled between the spots and clamped it up

Welded and ground off smooth!

Going to work soon so will do some more work tomorrow!
