Yeah things are slowly coming together now. Will post some pictures up this weekend!

Today I received my new front end to replace the damaged part. So this is the car as it sits, and the new panel I received for £200. Just need to get the car on a jig to make sure it's straight then the old panel cut off the car.. And the new panel spot welded on!

Got the paint matched for the car.. from halfords while I was waiting for my replacement drivers side corner and managed to paint 2x coats of super white 040 and then 2 layers of lacquer! Slowly getting there! And the finish is so good from a rattle can!

Haven't been on here that much lately due to moving house, changing job so money for a few months will be rubbish due to catching everything up.. But slowly getting there. This weekend was quite a productive one tho! I received a silver door with hinges and full loom from Keron for £75 I also removed the hood, clamps washed down and refitted those ready for a new hood.. Removed the front bumper Removed Supra Sticker on rear window Removed parts on the drivers side Unclipped the wiring loom Installed New drivers side door The wiring loom on the drivers side, that was hit on the corner.. Was crushed against the loom so was a real pain to get out, the casing was crushed, but all the cables looked intact thankfully! Keron also ensured me it would be okay as it drove in to him also which is a relief! So that's the wiring loom once I managed to release it from the mangled frame work.. Thinking of cleaning the loom up and just wrapping it in black electrical tape?? I removed the loom on thy side only due to getting a new arm panel (from the vin plate, around suspension tower, to the front of the car) and also the front slam panel from Keron also for £200! Then I'll get the arms on the body to be straightened and then that new part welded on and I'll have a straight cat finally! Just a few other pics. And that's how it is currently sitting at the moment!

Yeah most likely! I'll sort it when that happens [emoji1]

Oh damn.. Well I don't think mine is coming off the car anytime soon now lol

I didn't use a swear word?? Haha

So today before work I thought I'd do a little bit on the outside of the car and had some primer and black gloss lying about.. So I prised my badge of the car... And it snapped! So I brought some super glue from co op.. Glued it together and sanded it down ready for the primer.. Your really supposed to use grey primer to then apply black gloss for best results but only had white.. So white it was! Then applied black gloss and clear lacquer Then I super glued it back to the holes on the car lol looks pretty good tho!

Yeahh I thought it was pretty much that, just bought I'd check.. Cheers matey

That's brilliant cheers dude. Anything down near the bottom left corner (where the crash has dented the frame work)?

Ahh cheers mate I thought it might have been that. Anything else in particular I am missing on the sides at all? Just so I can write a list of parts I need to order??

The first picture (bottom left corner shows the damage) I pulled a few broken items out from this area also.. So whatever was there needs to be replaced.. Just not sure what they are!?

Any help would be brill tah!

My shell has been in a collision on the front corner and then was used as a parts car before I brought it so bits have been taken off of it.. So I wanted to know what exactly is missing from the engine bay, (obviously the engine but I mean around the sides) I removed the battery tray myself.. So I have that I just want a list of bits I'm missing around the sides.. Thanks!

I did take the battery tray out also so that's why it isn't in the picture.. As I have resprayed it black.. So any help on the pictures that I am missing components wise, obviously the engine lol but anything else in the engine bay that is not there would be a great heads up! Also the wire coming from the fuse box looks like it has been cut.. Does this matter at all!?

Slowly updating this as I work long hours throughout the week and only really get weekends on the car! So this picture is off the engine bay, the side where it had the impact on the drivers corner! Looks slightly bad, just waiting upon the parts and a slot to get it in the garage, jigged out and the figment of the panels so then I can save for the engine and gearbox itself. There is a lot of damaged and broken components in the lower left corner upon impact, can anyone tell me roughly what I am missing or need replacing due to damage..? And also if I need anything else on the passenger side of the car as it looks pretty empty!

Yeah I completely understand that, will be very rewarding in the end knowing that these cars are getting more expensive and rarer!

Yeah it was such a bad state from when I brought it! But saying that rolling shells I have seen selling for £5000! granted it had interior and exterior, but I would rather have the satisfaction of building the car up myself, and it is cheaper to get a perfect rolling shell the way I have done, than to buy one already in perfect condition. But so far so good! [emoji16] may also connect the spoiler this weekend to! Gradually start putting panels and parts back onto the car and clean the engine bay up abit before it goes in for a jig!

Yeah it will be plain sailing once I get it jigged and welded etc. Then I will be able to have the perfect exterior.. Will be nice to look at! Just won't be drive able for a while haha

Hmm the only thing I have painted is the interior floor pan ready for carpets etc. So getting the car straightened isn't going to be an issue and it's NOT going to cost me an arm and a leg to get it jigged neither

Ahh no I have already ordered the wings, headlights, bonnet and front bumper. So when I get it jigged out they will put these parts on for me to make sure it's all straight so just keeping myself busy untill they arrive

Pictures will be updated weekly with progress every weekend

Haha cheers mate! I can only really update and make progress on the car on the weekends because of work! But atleast I have long weekend on the car! Next thing I'm wanting to do is to buy some sound deadening foam to place on the floor pan to go under the carpet.

Today I re installed the glove box as the latch was broken, now I have a working glove box.

Then sprayed white primer over the top. I wanted it the same colour as the car so I was going to spray it artic white the same as the car but then, as its only the floor pan and it's going under the carpet and sound deadening foam I may just leave it as a matte white.
