My plan was to get it over to a one 'man band' bodyshop guy I knew in my local area. I didn't have the space/equipment/skill to do the metal work myself but I was hoping to pop up, help out and learn!! So I thought I would crack on with the sliding myself. A bit of chem paint stripper (I learnt quickly how horrible that stuff is!!), some sanding and a bit of etch primer...
Reeee-wind about 2 and three quarter years ago and I popped Loris off to the 'one man band' bodyshop! Whilst he was working on the metal work I thought I would get the engine out, take it to work with me and strip it down when I had the time. So out it came and I managed to wedge it in the back of my clapped out saxo...
Just thought I'm getting a bit carried away here and should be posting this in a restoration thread!!! Any chance I can switch this over to restorations??
Yeah well I thought it wasn't that bad either until I started stripping the paint.....it's now pretty much a full resto!!! more up to date pics to come. Just looking through the old pics for the underbody!!
