Hi guys,

Haven't updated in a while as I've been doing the militarys version of 'camping' lol.

Got the car down the local club and put the rollover jig together, now what would you guys recommend - bracing the doors with a bar across with a internal 'X' bar? Or just put the doors in? Or do you think I won't need any bracing?

And the 4 is on the jig

Looks like you decided to play safe and add some extra bracing then. I've never used one of those rigs, but it should make life a lot easier tackling the bodywork

That will make your life a lot easier Jake...........never used one but so much easier from working underneath getting covered in splatter, make working on her a pleasure. Nice dry secure working area as well

I used a roll over jig on the rally car, so much easier to get at everything.

Awesome as aye. As the others said. Must make work so much easier

Good start! Are you doing the work yourself ?

Rich

great to see you getting stuck in, fair play

Yeah they are quite good, abit finicky to try and figure out how your going to mount it, but overall it wasn't too difficult. You can get them for £360 off eBay which is where I got this one from.

I'm doing all the work myself - to an extent, as I'm no mechanic or panel beater (although I work weekends in a local painters) I will try to do everything myself where it's feasible.

So this weekend is a bank holiday and I've planned in every day till Tuesday to descale the underside of the chassis. I put 8 hours on it last night and tried to get the underseal off with a heat gun and a scraper then wire cup/grind the rust off.

The car has had some substantial welding (not the best) and still needs bits doing. I'm not the best welder, infact I'm crap BUT I've made a friend down the car club who's apprently the best welder in the Navy as his trade is a "nuclear welder", sweet!! So needend worry about those little bits, I shall cross his palm with a few gold coins when the time comes.

Here's a pic from last night.

Ok not alot of progress over the bank holiday weekend as the weather was too good to miss, I say out in the sunshine rebuilding and repainting all the parts here.

Just purchased some front and rear KMAC sway bars and XYZ coilovers with ajustable camber etc. Also considering a willwood big brake kit to change my non existent hubs as they Are connected to the brake discs (626 I think) which will change my PCD from the original 4x110 to 5x114.3 which opens me up to some nice wheels!

Heres the pics
