[Rigger]

Lovely job!! Looking forward to seeing this finished!

 

[Blackie]

Epic amount of work there!! Looking forward to it being finished!

 

[KevM]

Its great that he's removing any previous DFR patches and fabricating proper replacement repair panels. Proper job!

 

[Lee]

Serious patience and skill involved there.

Seeing pictures of that fabrication work would actually make me want to buy that car if I was in the market one of those.

That and replicating the air vent holes in the driver’s footwell as per factory (where nobody will ever appreciate it) impressed me greatly.

@BarryPort you must be like a child at Xmas when these updates get sent. Amazing work.

 

[TalkToFrank]

[Davytog]

@BarryPort

Whats the score under the patches and box sections. Are you wax injecting or painting the new/old steel.

 

[seanmooney]

That is just fantastic work.

Its this type of workmanship that makes you appreciate builds like this,.

 

[BarryPort]

Before, during & after of just one of the many repairs

Apologies Davy I didn’t have an answer for you earlier - clear waxoil but only after paint is complete. Don’t want that stuff anywhere near the prep.

 

[BarryPort]

[TalkToFrank]

I'm so excited for you baz, that is mouthwatering

 

[NickR]

[Mr.Mint]

Can't wait to see it finished.

How on earth do you know which bolt to use where! I literally wouldn't have any clue, not a single one

Guesswork.. until something isn't long enough for what you need

 

[svensktoppen]

And quietly kick anything "left over" at the end under the carpet

I very nearly got my pockets emptied a couple months ago buying a 2wd out of England that a “friend” was selling .Deal was done and half the money was being sent over and at the last second I thought what if ,needless to say he has disappeared of the face of the earth and not a word been spoke to me sense .
Anyways that is a stunning build ,can’t wait to see it finished down the line .

So you sent half and he has now vanished?

 

[svensktoppen]

I think he was about to, thought better of it, and then the "friend" disappeared?

Either way, never pay more in deposit than what you can afford to lose... Anything up front is basically gone no matter what.

 

[zafturbo]

No as the lad has said ,I had a bad feeling about it and didn’t send any money over.

 

[BarryPort]

Not too far away now are we

 

[civicglacier]

Incredible!
The attention to detail is fantastic.
