Well after spending 2 years restoring my S1 and saying never again, I went and bought this..

 

How it landed at the restorers.

Sat since '98, 39,000 Miles

Never welded.

 

How I bought, fresh paint and redone interior.

Man alive dude, you S1 looks amazing on those wheels.

 

Cabby looks good too, can't wait to see the progress on it.

 

Love the Mini in the background too, that will be mine and the Mrs next project.

Had rust everywhere, bodged repairs

And the mini...neglected at the moment

Back to the Cab

Restorers decided filler was better than replacing rusty metal, with fresh metal!?

Cars down to a naked shell and have made a start on rolling the rear arches

Underseal/stonechip removing, not exciting

Bit of fresh seamsealer applied

Little bit more exciting, freshly zinc'd bits of my mate Big Ian

Is the zinc plating expensive andy, looks awesome and coming along nicely!

Free!

Not sure what it costs normally, don't think its very expensive process.

I'll ask him next time I see him get rough idea for you.

Reckon its taken 30 hours to get the engine bay looking like this.

 

Bought a big compressor and proper Soda Blasting set up to do the awkward bits.

 

Next its going on its side for the floor to be striped, hence the matress in the background.

Floor stripping and not a dodgy repair in sight.

Ford underseal was 10mm thick in places, which has saved the floor.

Going the same route with fixing the bodykit, rivnuts.

DSCF5448_zps36f4b57b.jpg

WTF? 3mm thick filler on the back panel, not covering rust or any nasties.

This was a so called professional restorer.
