Battle version parts

British people and their sheds....amazing stuff going on.

Its back!

Another update, while the car was away for sand blasting i put my new welder to use and made myself a spit.



Fitted extensions to the steering rack.



Then today with the help of a few mates picked up the car from the sand blasters.



Then came the test wether or not the car would fit in the garage on the spit.

It does but we had to turn the car upside down to get it in the garage as it wouldn't go in under the door :wack:





Once in the garage the car misses the roof by 5mm when turning it over

So my Dad and i have spent most of the day cleaning the chassis legs to enable me to do the seam welding.

looking good.

I would never pick an hachi like that, i mean, in that rusty condition, but its good to see that its getting in shape at every update.

[robokill]

what did the sandblasting cost? I am really thinking of doing my car the same way.

[Jan Pedersen]

Wow! It doesn't look bad I didn't think there would be anything left, but I'm happy to see that I was wrong!

I can't wait to see the rest of this project

I guess noone would, but In some parts of the world, well especially around country where I live, its almost impossible to get an 86 in a decent condition. Mines pretty much the same like Sweeps´ one and people say it doesnt look bad at all compared to the other ones driving around

It cost me 100 GBP, BUT, the guy has not done it as much as i'd hoped to be perfectly honest, i was hoping it would have been done down to the metal including the sound deadening from under the car.

But hey, for that price i can't complain The main job is to remove all the rust so its the perfect way to see it

I do have to agree it does look less rusty than expected.
But I think we all saw too many horror-stories before.
