Is there anything that isn't rusted This is either madness or a labour of love to keep going! Looking forward to the updates for sure Non-exclusive or, why not both! Most of the floorpan isn't rusty... but I've yet to pull the fuel tank and see what crust awaits me beneath it... Updates will hopefully remain plentiful, I really need to build a workbench to store half this stuff... I'm running out of floorspace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Wow, you really have your work cut out with that project. Great car to be making the effort to save though. Good luck with it and looking forward to the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoticentity Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Over the weekend I learned about my new favouritest job ever to do in a car. Removing sound deadening. Urgh. Disgusting, messy hammer and chisel work. No dry ice sadly, and the freezer stuff in a car mostly just made a mess. Maybe the other side will be easier. Also yanked the brake master, abs and traction system. Too much weight for my liking. Not decided if I'll keep ABS or not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoticentity Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Been a little while, I’ve been busy at a wedding one weekend (took the supra out for that, lovely drive to the Peak District) and organising shite for the big day! The engine is now out, and more rust has been found… Where the traction bar mounts to the chassis the mount is rusted through, top bottom and sides to some extent leaving me with a decision about how dedicated I want to be with this shell I think I’ll probably get it sorted and keep the shell still, just have to take my sweet time getting things like this sorted properly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Dedicated. Some may say insane If you have time and can do the work yourself, great! There has to be better chassis candidates out there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Well, it's not like you can make it any worse by learning to weld on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be better chassis candidates out there though I’m considering it, finding a genuine turbo tintop isn’t easy though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
