Yeah ive got a complete type 3 front end. The inner wings on it are ok. So ive been using as much of them as i can to repair my own. And by repair i mean replace as mine isnt even rusty, its simply not there anymore

The past few sessions have lead to the inner wing starting to take shape. Have done a little myself Shaun came round again today and did all the work while I pottered about trying to look busy. I’ve managed to lay my hands on a complete type 3 floor as well so large sections of that will be getting ...

And with the large hole filled https://3misca-ch3301.files.1drv.com/y4mCKVeFUhfyXvQuH8G05p-eHnyVDXqO6I1Ysh1NTygV35dkKbm5mIPVOfk9L2ArrNIxBrlETVOhrPXGq1CSQYp9XU6CA6zd__YvLi6Rj1xJGkfp9NREq1KqhXWXzzQTCIawuX7I6G63oncMfwncGvDVVuU92WVREaF7eAClI5OiH8N5uybo9T2MwxHQFkrzO_p4xgvszGW-9ix5XTsqhG5dg?width=1024&hei...

yeah keep checking back ill be updating 2 or 3 times a week with the work

Cheers chris, been a few years since ive done any serious body work so its taking abit of getting into, bit rusty pardon the pun

Its a very strange front end some of it is in amazing condition and some of it is like swiss cheese. But your story explains it quite abit after it was half inched from you some bodgers crealy been at it and done a half arsed job accelerating the rust process. If anyone knows anything about my fasty...

Haha the bottom half of the front was nothing to do with you then? Who ever did it use alot of filler and welded up the holes for the crash structure. Rather annoying as i need them to be holes again. going to take some very careful cutting to get them free

She looks great in that photo mate! The chunk of it that i have was orange and them someone have painted it black on top very badly. Its seen a number of repairs, most very badly done as they have just plated over the rust. Did u debumper it? At least its 71 and even though its had a troubled life i...

And looking at the cross section it turns out this has two pieces cut and shut. I think I know a little about that, one day over a cuppa i'll tell you all about it. :\ Go on spill the beans id like to know :) Luckily i dont need the front panel so im none to fussed. Do you regocnise the reg? FOR **...

Well i was attempting to clean up the spare wheel well to etch primer it but the inner front panel once wire brushed looked like this.

The OEM engine started have troubles at idle and the fuel consumption went up. I spent a while fiddling with it but didnt dig deep enough and on a long run home from uni one evening it melted a hole through the number 4 piston and blew all the oil out the block. Knowing roughly what had happend i kn...

thanks! Aim is april may time. But got alot on my plate aside from the fasty. But full day on it tomorrow!

Well its been a while since i posted Ive had many thousands of fun miles in this car but last year engine troubles kicked in and eventually i had to take it of the road. I have build a 1956cc "quick" engine heres it on my test stand. https://z0laua.ch.files.1drv.com/y4m_VvO-zeU0Ge-PcIr5CpneIODnqx-hP...
