Reggie needs mk2 rear lights

Heh - Funny you should say ...


Mr Bland - Reggie will be staying almost the same as he is now - He will most definitely be staying in the same colour scheme, same retro look, same MPi engine - But he's getting a few additions ...

Ooooooohhhhhhhhh.......

Ok - I know I said 3 days ... but I got a bit carried away with my toolkit this afternoon - So instead of going to the gym, I started taking Reggie apart!

Will sort it in just a sec - They're on my phone at the mo!

[Bean]

I've kept everything on that will keep him water-tight for now. Stupid numberplate wouldn't come off, lol!

I've seen the finished article! Not too bad...

[Bean]

Not too bad?

[bamby]

aww he's getting some tough love! .. blimey how long is that driveway ?

[Bean]

Driveway's about this long ...








Tough love's about right!

I poked him with a screwdriver today!



Whoops!!









So - I thought I would show the areas that I am concerned about and the reasons why he's being stripped!


Passenger side door:




Passenger side A-Panel:




Passenger side wing:






Scuttle:






Bonnet:




Driver's side wing:






And my main concern, the driver's side flitch edge:




So - I did have a poke around today, just to see what the state is and what sort of thing I'm looking at.




Well - Firstly I found out why the driver's side wheel ALWAYS rubs on the arch/front panel:









Who needs welds, when the paint will hold it together?!

Yep - There's one tiny weld on that panel, holding that whole corner together - The rest was just held together with the seam sealer!


Secondly, the passenger side has rusted through:



As per previous screwdriver shot, lol


Bonnet's knackered here and elsewhere:



But I knew that anyway!


The door is holed But only very small :

[Bean]

The inside floor is fine, really - No real issues at the back end at all, as far as I can see at the moment:




Aside from this:



But that is literally surface from where the arch was attached and not sealed properly.



Unfortunately, the scuttle has a hole:



But I knew that anyway. Actually, I'm quite surprised it's so small - I thought it was much larger - Guess we'll see the full extent when the screen comes out - But we'll replace that section anyways.



So, all points of concern are marked in red:





Lol Please excuse my upsidedowny writing!


Best dust off my brand new front panel that I bought for Ronnie, eh?

to be honest, I was going to replace the front, anyway - It has been repaired previously, so I would rather replace it and do it properly!


That's all for now, folks!

[ScottyBoi]

Just re-shell it

Aw - He's not that bad!
