took out the rear windows, easy enough

 

 

 

found some rust on the passenger side, its not too bad

 

 

sorted the rust then striped it all back to bear metal and primed it with acid 8

 

 

 

next job, sort out the rear pannel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when i have the pannel welded back in i am going to cut the whole bottom off the rear pannel and put a new piece in.

 

little bit messy, been doing some sandblasting

 

 

mostly around the rear to clean up all the seams

How are you managing to pay for all this?

[20vturbo 0]

i must admit i think im a bit mad spending over £1000 on suspension but they do look lovely and are the dogs bo**ox :D

i love it .........

[20vturbo 0]

just a small update before i go away for the weekend.

 

got the panel welded in

 

 

and then i did this

 

 

than i went completely made and cut some more out. (the red smudge is my blood)

 

 

starting to put it back together

 

 

nearly there. (the brown stuff is smoke from the welder)

 

 

welded up the gaps in the panels

 

 

 

all done, dont worry in this pic i hadnt finished cleaning up the bottom so thats why theres snots along the bottom edge.

 

 

there was a pretty big dent in the rear quarter and i couldn't get it from inside so out it came.

 

 

 

beat it into shape and popped it back in

 

 

the inside is pretty much there just need to give the whole thing a sand and throw on some primer.

 

 

 

its so close to going to the body shop.

cant wait

dude your going welder happy!!!!! :D

[20vturbo 0]

i have to sort out the mounting of the intercooler and oil cooler before it goes to paint so i had a look at it tonight. im fairly happy with the position and the pipe work is as good as its going to get. have a look and see what you think. opinions welcome.

 

the pipe will be alloy and im getting it tig welded to the intercooler

 

 

 

 

the pipe work is going to be 3" to 2.5" reducer from my throttle body. from there to the turbo will be 2.5".

Awesome work, great determination and its good to see a 'rado being rebuilt this way as most of them are starting to need it now :(

 

Even more encouraging given your age, you thinking about going into restoration work?

took out all the old sealer and put in some new stuff, then i primed it

 

 

after alot of work i finnaly got half of the inside primed

 

 

 

 

the old bumper was pretty well shagged so i got another one in very good condition

 

 

its ready to be painted so im going to drop it up to the painters tomorrow. i just want to do the bumper to see if i like the color.

Awesome I love it!

 

Colour should be stunning. I have always wanted a metallic black rado with an ever so slight red tint in it.

 

I have to ask tho can you post a pic of yourself next picture set. Dont worry Im not going a little fruity :nuts:

 

Just cant believe your not actually a 65 year old bearded classic car restorer called Bernard from Wolverhampton :wink: :grin:

[20vturbo 0]

as for the color, well all im gonna say is you will just have to wait and see
