great minds and all that lol

The guy selling sounds brand new, txt him from his for sale add on wheel whores before he put them on ebay, they will be wide i think they were on a corrado with 20mm spacers before so et=0, they looked wide on that. needed to decide on wheels so i can form the arches before external paint.

yeah i initially saw them on WH.

I reckon that your in the best place for these rims even if they poke out an inch or so then as your car is getting overhauled you may as well extend the arches to fit the wheels.

an hour here and there, started cleaning the glue off and removing the mangled seat supports

price brand new from image £1600 ish plus delivery and tyres. i paid a lot less. thats why the car will be made to fit the wheels if required

[nas80]

damnit lol they have fit really nice.

did u need spacers on the front of did they go straight on?

[problemchild75]

loool they will fit well on a bare shell with no running gear. the wheels are sweet im interested to see how you get on fitting them so hurry up

[pandemonium001]

i will try and get the engine off the subframe tommorrow and see if they clear the track rod ends.

i was waiting to see if anyone noticed that there was no running gear installed

more pics tommorrow night.

[Mihajlo]

I noticed but it's too late now

[pandemonium001]

got a bit done today, but i managed to twist my back getting into the car.
removed more seam sealer from inside the shell
removed the passenger side sill, it will need a bit of work to the inner sill after some botched repairs
started cleaning all the underseal from the front wheel arches.
only got about 3-4 hours done as my back was hurting to much, will see how it is tommorrow and get a bit more done.

[pandemonium001]

started on the worst side first where there had been botched replacement steel that was rotting away, cut back to the origional positions that PO cut the first time.
here is progress so far.
this is how both sideswhere left with silicone sealer stuffed in the gap.

to this


started cleaning the front

previous damage

inside





bit of rot at the front but not to bad



will start the rear arches next, clean up the flages a lot more, remove more surface rust. then start repairs from the inner sill to the floor pan working out.
measured the replacement pattern sills they are only 20 guage, but i will be fabricating inner sill and stiffner rib repairs in 18 guage.

[pandemonium001]

managed to get some more done lately.







getting there slowly. still need to tidy some welds up.

[Jeroen]

Yeah but a whole lot better already! Are you going to replace the rusted part of the floor pan by an original part as well?
