Guest andyp100 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Another quick couple of the S1 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 Edited December 9, 2014 by andyp100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyp100 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Underseal/stonechip removing, not exciting Bit of fresh seamsealer applied Little bit more exciting, freshly zinc'd bits of my mate Big Ian and if I wasn't making enough mess decided to removal all the paint of the front panel Also picked up a mint white hood Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyp100 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 More bare metal... 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.

Ian71 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Its gonna be mint m8,should think you need the mattress for a lay down lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andyp100 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 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. WTF? 3mm thick filler on the back panel, not covering rust or any nasties. This was a so called professional restorer.
