dr_broon Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Welding work is all complete. Inner and outer cills sorted, rust cut out from spare wheel well and repair sections fitted, inner rear arch on driver's side cut out and repaired, underneath cleaned up and undersealed, rear quarter windows refitted to hopefully stop the leak. Next back to the mechanics to get fuel tank and lines, refurbished calipers (and disks and pads) fitted, full service and timing belt done. Then on to the body shop for some fresh paint (when I get her booked in) Some pics of her belly.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 jeese, that's a hella long time to have been without Tubs! Good thing is though that with all that cycling you've done in that year you'll be a lot fitter when you do drive her again lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that he'd took some photos to show the work he'd done, but I'd been down a couple of times and saw what was going on / parts to fit etc. Kicking myself for not getting the underseal done 10 years ago when it was still fresh. Want to get the suspension arms etc powder coated and poly bushed, but think that'll be when she's getting painted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
