Cheers dude yeah I do like a challenge as the saying goes if it was easy every one would do it as for the labels number one is I think it looks good lol and I will be stripping the loom out when I remove the engine as the engine bay will be striped and then repainted oh what fun that will be
tbh thats looking really good to say its been sat in grass for a few months.
good luck Pete, i think you'll need it. will be watching with anticipation

Good things come to those who wait & speaking from experience things always look better when you take your time. This coming from the bloke who took 3 weeks at approx 4 hours a night to shave a door lock off a boot lid. Lol
At least you know it will be worth the investment at the end, especially with the detailed restoration.

Yesterday I spent the full day stripping down the donor car and cutting what bits I needed so this morning the shell got weighed in and to make a start with things for the gul.
Heres the new axel being striped down and will be treated in red oxide paint first and then either black or silver carnt make my mind up.
Heres the two wings I got of the donor car they were in decent shape where it could be seen but did have rust where they bracketed on so all the rot got chopped out and new put in and shaped back in line.
I must admit this happened when I had the urge to join the gay gold club with the v70r had it for a few month and sold it and ive always wanted a gul but I just think the turquoise looks loads better this time tho ill keep both.

That torquoise estate is vey lovely I must say, I really need to get going on my yellow one too , you have given me inspiration!
How hard was the rear axle to get out ?
t5 pete (Tuesday 30th July 2013)
Thank you as for the rear axel its really easy you will either need two people or have some sort of support to hold it when unbolting first off undo connector for for abs loom sensors its with the ones for the fuel pump etc and is a yellow block connector, then take the brake pipe off the Y joint, then remove rear shockers and springs lastly either get some one to hold or support it best thing would be a gear box cradle but as I didn't have one I used old wheels stacked 5 high and undo the two main bushes and pry them done and job done
pm sent pete?

Hopefully tomorrow I will get chance to nip to paint shop and see if they can provide me with the under chassis paint I want and as soon as I get that let the fun begin I can start sorting the under side and once that's done I have orders to sort the spare room out for the new addition.
THEN ROLL ON ENGINE CHANGE just need a new clutch and rack
