Thanks guys appreciate the positive comments. Believe it or not it has mot till this month.
I could have done repair patches to the inner wings but to me it's defiantly worth replacing them.
I also think if it hadn't been so low milage and one owner I may have done local repairs.
But to do justice to the car I plan on doing it to the best of my ability although I'm not going for show winning quality I still want to do as good.

Great to see another being restored, I restored one as well 2 years ago.. www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=339208Great little cars and once people have got over the image that these and Saxo VTS had gained, they will certainly start to be appreciated more. Funny you mention that mate I have yours bookmarked and have read it various times. |

Yeh it looks OK to be honest so does the rear chassis rails.
Will probably find something wrong though when I start digging.
I want to try do it in stages. Front end then rear end and floor but will probably mot it's once the front end is done and use it a bit dry days of course.

Always interesting seeing the construction/structural ideas of various cars, especially those that have to be light & frugal with their metal.

The metal is so thin it's unreal it can make it a nightmare sometimes to weld.

Small up date on this guys been quite busy with life lately and try to get on it when I can. Bought one of these to grind down the weld that I couldn't reach with the angle grinder.    Then set about making a little repair panel for this area.   Cut it a bit short so added a small peice on.   Little piece I had to work with.  All primed up. Kept having stupid thoughts about the engine not fitting in properly due to having the engine mounting panel off so thought I better put this to bed.   All fits fine as it should. So them took it back out. Only a couple of more little repairs to do then onto the passenger side. |
