Projects & Restorations RSS

We have flipped the car onto its right side. Nearside sill has been removed and all repair work done to inner sill and arches. new sill to be fitted next, then finish undershield, fit wheel studs and spacers, refit tank and then new exhaust/cat can be fitted. Hoping to get it back on its wheels on Saturday!

I forgot to add the youtube clip of the finished bike last year, so here it is.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM will these fit? Daewoo's finest, 15" !!!! looks a bit big maybe ? They will fit now. 30mm spacers, extended studs, new nuts and a bit cut off the wheel arches. Arches and both spacers fitted and a bit of waxoil/shultz, Progress at last. I will turn the car over this weekend and sort the other side.

Inner sill and wheel arch all repaired. Outer sill fitted

I have remove the front and rear panels, two doors, front wing and exhaust, for better access. I have cut off the offside sill and 1.5" of rear arch, all rotten. I have also  reshaped parts  of the arches to make space for the 15" wheels. I have one new sill (given to me by Ian with the car) and have made some inner sill sections to repair the under side of the sills. Next job is grinding and preparing the body to take the new sections and welding them on. I will let you know how that goes, hopefully...
