Hi trev , guys time for a little up date , ok so with the windows all done and the the roof all preped up ready to prime and paint which is what the car came in for originaly it was time to look at a list of jobs trev had found wrong with the car, the first thing was the bonnet was sticking up high on the passenger side near the windscreen, this was due to the hinge being welded up in the wrong place ,so iv now rewelded it up in the correct place and the bonnet sits perfect now .
The next thing was the drivers side rear quartet was sitting about an inch and a half further out past the wheel than the passenger side and there were 2 new cracks in the fibre glass that had appeared since trev bought the car , on inspection ohh dear the rear corner must of had a little tinkle with a bolard or another car at some point , the rear frame was bent holding the quarter out and who ever had fixed it ( what a bodge ) they had left it bent then pop riveted a couple of plates under the cracked fibre glass and just filled it with bodge , including just bodging the light panel to the quarter ,
Ok so I cut the light panel off which showed the reasons for the cracks, the rear frame was not attached anymore the welds had bracken away along with some of the frame supports missing so the whole rear end of the car was lose ,and to add more insult who ever did it fitted the rear bumper back on with only 1 out of 4 nuts .
Ok not to bore you anymore I can now say it's all straight again and welded up with new support bars , iv also tidied all the wiring up and painted all the rear frame ,
I'm now on with the rear quarter, it's all fibreglassed back up and I'm on with the prep work he's a few pics cheers jd
