discodas Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Just though I would pop some pic's of our baby going through some final prep before painting. Did have some older pic's during welding but they were on the old fashioned 35mm need to scan them in. No where as impressive as some of the other refur/ weld pipc's on here, but enjoyed every day in the garage furkeling around.

discodas Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Project GT/J under way after some years in grey she's finally RED, paited by yours truly, and in my garage. Not 100% perfect but a little polish goes a long way. She was taken off the road many years ago, have done a lot of work to her and very soon hope to have her on theh road:) http://s877.photobuc...ab338/discodas/ Edited August 20, 2010 by discodas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick-Manta Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Great stuff, I take it you managed to find the bits you were after? I did bump up your old parts wanted post but didn't hear 'owt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodas Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi Rick, Not got the filler strip yet but have made up those little rubber bits for the glass door things!! That was fun too. Which bits were you after? I had a guy asking after the door from shetland. The Wing has sold but not collected as of yet, if this does not go are you intrested? Postage will fun trying to package that? Have a set of Decal's on, bought these just in case the ones made were not quite right. Still some minor things to do but all the big stuff done.

Rick-Manta Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Good to hear, I ordered a couple of those door corner seal kits but I appreciate they're expensive, so you've probably come up with the better solution for the non-lazy Apart from decent reproduction GTJ decals I wasn't after anything but thanks anyway, I'm literally tripping over my spares, so much so I've bought a bivouac type of garage to extend. I just wanted to check on these bits I was keeping aside for you weren't needed. Looking forward to seeing your GTJ finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to get pictures soon, it was a very different drive down to the test station, the guys there said whats that?????
