Rust here rust there rust every frickin where

[redgti]

ok mate i will have a poke around on wednesday and see what its like and give you a shout.

[grinder]

so what you are really telling us is that you bought the entire car just to get the blanking plate that you needed

[redgti]

yeah that blanking plate is really important to me!!!!
 
haha i like to do stuff the hard way mate.

[grinder]

your not kidding !!

good luck with the car though .. and i suppose im close enough if you need any help with it ( although knowing your back ground .. i cant see that happening ! )

[redgti]

hi mate got the shell semi stripped at the moment, can send you some pics if your interested in buying it still? is really quite clean, just surface rust that could be rubbed off with a bit of wirewool or paper. Floor seems nice and straight inside. send me your email if you want me to send the pics over.

Bit of an update, no real progress though, pulled it out the garage and took the door off to have a good look and smash off some filler!









With the side skirts on most of the damage is hidden so i guess it\'s not going to matter too much what my welding looks like :rollin

[1990_fc3s_t2]

According to Brian Long it\'s "anfini" :rollin

That looks like a lot of work

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Haha yeah loads of work, im just going to bodge it so it\'s good enough for mot.
Can\'t afford a new fc yet and i can\'t go through another summer with a ford puma!! i miss smelling like exhaust fumes :mmmm

wish i had one of those jig things where you can spin the car around! that\'d make life a tad easier.

[dezzah]

Wow, mine looked similar (though not as bad) this time last year - daylight through the passenger footwell and all...
Luckily a mechanic father who doesn\'t charge for welding large lumps of metal back on comes in handy now and again!

Although both my rear arches are going to need sorting soon

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Got a bit more done, the inside is almost finished just the driver\'s side which is in far better condition and a few bits underneath.
The hardest part was trying to get the curve in the metal, what a pain spent hours hammering it over a solid round steel bar, neighbours must hate me! :Giggle

Dont laugh i know my welding is rather shocking but definatly better than when i started! :rolleyes:

[L18M]

looking good there. will be fine with the tii skirts covering it up

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Yeah should be fine with a slither of filla, got the shape near enough so should\'nt be to much messing.
Buzzing i can see light at the end of this rusty tunnel :wiggle

new battery, tyres and gear oil and i can start it up, that\'ll be a good day, if it starts!!! :Giggle
