chrisb Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I cant wait to see this again all bolted back up and on the road, always loved this car back in the day when Colin Rimmer owned it and then Sean Hunt and Mark Morris. This was my inspiration when i did my Starmist 2.4 Exclusive back in 1998, I wanted to get the 240 road kit fitted to that but never got round to it. So glad you bought it and its getting the restoration it so deserves.

Fatchops Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 What an amazing thread. It's not only brilliant but also a little overwhelming to see just what might be required when the dreaded rust sets in. Certainly not for the faint hearted or those with a lack of space or welding equipment ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 So today with the help of Dan, we got the axles back under it and back on the ground. Tomorrow ill mask out all the underside properly whist its still over the pit then its getting rolled next door into our body shop. Getting excited now, thats all the bulk and horrible jobs out the way. Now time to get it in paint and start putting all the shiny refurbished/new bits back on 😀 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

The only welding I've done in the engine bay is section of battery trey, washer bottle tray, and just where inner wings meet the bulk head. Also a little bit between inner wing and front panel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
