A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

a little update, I called in to see how egg beater is getting on,

had a bit of a chat with the lads, and he walked me through the repairs on the car,
All the welding is done and just waiting painting now,

it looks very, very good!  there were some nightmares, the inner arch ( that the mot tester failed) wasn't even there!
the lad had to use all of the replacement panel to reconstruct the inner and outer arch lip.
it will require new rear quarters to be fair to make it a proper good job, that way they could really go to town with the repairs, ( I will need to save for that one)
the floors were just simple little repairs, in fact the lads said the tester shouldn't really have failed it on two areas. As they were grommet holes.

So here are the work in progress photos, But I will show you what it was like before, also one extra that was going to go on the gta.

hard to see on this photo, but look one the sides of the engine is, you will see the inner wings that pop out, sort of a triangle shapes. There is a hole on each side, for the head of the dampers to slot through, on the gtis, there is plate that goes over the hole for added strength. basically stops the damper going through the front inner wings.

 

here are the two brackets been added, so I can now fit front dampers to the car, so that I can now push on from the gta 16v setup to the gti setup. ( just need to add dampers to the front)
They have to be brush painted in, as its going to be a bastard to spray in. But you wont see them anyway. As they are hidden.

 


 

now the ugly parts!







All repaired!








just need paint and we are away!! so hopefully I can start putting the car back together again! The progress on with 2015s upgrades and changes.
Still got some but not much, but we are very close!
