Project rust box time to save the gul

[t5 pete]

Im only pulling yer chain. In hindsight perhaps I should have refurbed my own subframe. It was free standing for 6 months.

Lol isn't hindsight a bitch tbh there was only one bush knackered on the sub frame the rest would have most likely been fine for another 50k or more but just replaced them all

[Wobbly Dave]

I've now replaced all the engine mounts. Something that would have been a darnsight easier if I'd done the 3 of them before putting the engine back on it.

Bit more done today roof fully prepped just needs scotching and tack rag ready for primer engine bay needs at least another day work of prep

He's too busy with the Gul to do any work with his 1972 midget...did my own brakes last weekend don't ya know :-)
Just getting it in before anyone else does !

[t5 pete]

Got a fair bit done today even tho it doesn't look it god car sprayers must get sick of prepping took nearly 3 hrs to do the bonnet struts properly
Engine bay nearly there just a few bits left to do in the front legs then ready for primer

[T5RatherAmusin]

[no1tosh]

[850 T5s]

amazing transformation so far, this is a great thread to read from the beginning just to see how much time and effort has gone into this already

[martybelfastt5]

sure your wrecked pete .......but your leaving us imagining these primerd parts

[t5 pete]

how did you find it pal?

Hello bud it all went fine tbh ide guess the primering is the easy bit going to leave it now for a few days to let the primer set then wet sand and then paint

sure your wrecked pete .......but your leaving us imagining these primerd parts

Tbh the primering is the easy bit took all of 30mins the prep work for the roof and the bay has took a full 3 days

[t5 pete]

And piccys
Really happy with how it went on did a slight dusting coat first then one good coat.
Had to smile ide ordered grey primer and it did look grey in the tin but now looks white I suppose it will be easier for the yellow to cover.

Making great progress there Pete, attention to detail is outstanding

[munster732]
