SN52WWF re-shell project

Messages

After checking the chassis, it's time to call it a day on my 52 plate, Milano pink, CAT C, EP3, I've spent several hundreds on welding the chassis over the last 2-3 years (downside of buying a Scotland registered car I'm told?) and it needs a whole lot more to pass the MOT, so it's re-shell time....
So started looking for a shell and found this one in Birmingham, I've checked the chassis and it's all OK. So starting off, strip the rear suspension out and poly bush the lot. I'll keep you updated on the progress, but there is a huge list to do....:eek:

sorry no pics, I'll sort and repost ....

Tuned into this one mate! :)

Have you by any chance got a spare passenger side rear door card seatbelt clip? I'm aware they're part of the door card, but only want the clip to glue onto my existing one for completeness.

Strange request I know! Best of luck with the re-shell.

The new trailing arm bushes arrived today





Still gonna clean up and paint the trailing arms - now seem to be making progress and a couple of rusty set-backs :(
 
Wish I had another car and was able to do strip my car down and rebuild it. Hope everything goes to plan :cool:
 
Trailing arms & rear wheel hubs, old OEM bushes of 15 yrs removed and new bushes fitted, all I need to is fit it all back in the car. Also the roll cage mounts are now welded in and it can be installed...

Removed the rust and painted the trailing arms, don't look too close its not a concourse job
