stumpy Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 I don't think the current floor panels cover the full extent of rot I have here Dave Deakin was remanufacturing splashback panels and I believe the tray on the bulkhead where the heater goes anyone know if he's still doing them the inner wings are a little rough but I think inner wing panels are available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Good looking project. What engine has it had in it? I notice either an air box bracket or a remote servo bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Message Dave, I believe he does them in batches but his stuff is spot on ( got a set of all he made for black exclusive when we get there). inner wing tops was available from TJmotorsport, along with a few other bits. Rest your looking at Germany/Belgium or go with cuts from a good shell. Interestingly, considered the LS motor. Lots of options and in SA they seem to put them in everything. Can still find Early non vvti thick rods for sub 1K pop up on FB regularly too. Edited June 7 by Jessopia74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Pounsett Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I guess you’ve read @GTREA‘s build then. If not you’ll love this; It looks like you’ve got a good set of wheel arch trims there. Look after those! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very tidy when completed. On a side note, I was a little disappointed on myAsconaA bulkhead/A posts that I treated with Hydrate80 post new metal/welding. It had got fly rust when having other work done. Wish I had of epoxy primed it, so make sure you get that done as soon as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 I've heard hydrate 80 is good stuff but can be a pain to apply I've never used it myself yes will definitely be protecting everything as well as possible still can't beat old engine oil in the cavity off the cill with a drain plug for refills ...does the guy on here still do the 400 kits os it Martin hos nsme od Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 So I have a month of work and no plans so I can be working on the car. Full time the question is where to start...the both front floors are gone as are the chassis rails in that area.... it's had some horrendous patches over the years on the splash panels/bulkhead from the centre of the floor backwards it's very good floor and chassis wise now the question is do I do a feral drift manta type build or restore to original ime guessing the majority are going to original but this is going to be a stripped out rally car kind of look anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can seem like a silly thing, but it 100% helps. With regards to build direction- whatever will give YOU the most use/benefit/fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 As all of the panels are available at cost, it probably easier, unless you are a metal work ninja. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
