My own car.
Well... it made it about 500miles on the road as after the rhd conversion.
As much as it love a 4dr. I love a 2dr more. So I converted it up in my spare evenings and weekends. Unfortunately, in doing so I missed got the drop show with it (did plan on putting it back on the road multicoloured) but in the end decided to make a proper car from it, so we took it to driver's collection in part built form.
It was such a rock solid shell, only having a bit of grot in the rear lower corners and rear arches, it had a dent in most panels, the paint was screwed, so for me was a no brainer to end up with a very very nice mk2. A few extras added here and there. And stitch welded where I could whilst its in bits. Zinc rich primer throughout as always!
Yet again, the R-Tech Welding Equipment Ltd mig 250 doing me the business, and their spot welder keeping the work tight.
Massive massive thankyou to James Johnstone whom I get 99% of my panels from. For the help on this one. He was on hand every step of the way when it came to panel supply. And as always at great prices.
Its pretty much awaiting a painter now 🎨 🖌
Be out there in 27' looking a little different. 💅
Thanks to my Toni, for not seeing me for a month of any spare time I may have had, and for getting involved giving me a hand gapping doors ect. Stuff you simply cannot do alone. ❤️
