Ah man, I feel like Ive tried everything. breaking them might be the only way now annoyingly yeh soaked in penetrating oil but not budging even made a tool to push from inside but does nothing

Yeh man, just starting splitting it to be painted but oh my days the rear abs sensors are causing me a headache to remove

Took a half day off yesterday to try get some more bits done. The box section had been crushed at some point. No idea how - my best guess is maybe the previous owner reverse over a bike or something.. So ended up drilling the spot welds to get the 2 pieces out so that they can be repaired/replaced. Scotched up the rear section ready for seam sealing. I need to make a start on cleaning the unit up though as it's not in a good way after this project Making a start on disassembling the rear subframe today

Haha yep! Some of them I’ve grinded through in error but when I put it back together time will tell what I’ve misplaced or destroyed I think my head is going to be permanently fixed in the lean back looking up pose though. Absolutely soul destroying work.

Forgot i hadn't updated this in a while Wheel well and all surrounded areas are painted in 2k epoxy. As is the wheel arches. I have now rubbed down the whole centre section and floor pans and have painted them (pics later) Next plan is to grey scotch all the paint, apply seam sealer then apply Dinitrol 447 to the underbody. It's a stoneguard that has Zinc within it for added protection.

so are we holding on for dear life or buying more?

No probs, can’t remember what I paid. Just looked on eBay and undercut them all

i have a new shroud in the Unit but no fan (fareham, hampshire) £150.00 delivered for the shroud

did you use AI to write this?

So wheel arch finished rubbing back now, as is the cubby, rear quarter section and above the fuel tank. Have applied some phosphoric acid to it also Going to epoxy tomorrow, then take a break for a week or so, let my hands recover. Then it’ll be drivers side wheel arch and cubbies

Not a lot to report just yet, been slowly beavering away at the underside. Why? Not really sure but I’m anal and I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t do it all while it was out. Hoping to have rear section finished being rub down to bare metal by Sunday, then going to green scotch it all up so it’s a little more keyed, then rust convert any hard to reach parts then straight into epoxy before I start on the mid section. So far rear section below boot has been done, passenger wheel arch almost finished, just getting into the small pockets off space either side of the boot is a real challenge. Will smash out drivers wheel arch then get it all blown off and panel wiped if I ever decide to do this again, it will be on a rotisserie for sure.

where did you buy the brake lines from? I'm struggling to get anyone to supply them

beautiful!
