3b s2 coupe resurrection

[andy10v]

Hmm, bit of practice first, I dont really like welding thin stuff, I am a bit agricultural.

Front 3/4 of the arch is primed and sealed



I am going to need a new rear bumper (in emerald green LZ6U if anybody has one?)

Also missing the bumper mount, part number 10.



And still just filling and sanding

[mackenzie50]

hey Andy- didn't Nessheads have emerald green bumpers for sale-( maybe he's shifted them by now)??

More good work dude. Iv got some rust on the rear O/S arch and sill but iv got an interesting plan for it that ill stick in my build thread when i do it. Iv also got a big surface rust patch on the door that needs rubbed down and sprayed. Ill probably just prime, sand, spray and wet sand a few times to get it blended and sealled good. I was up a knockhill today getting a mates car weighed in for the SLS race series. You should check it out, its like time attack but for pretty normal cars and its classed with power/weight so cars are fairly matched on the straight bits.

They are avaliable new and don't cost much.

[Acidburn]

cover postage and ill send you that bracket andy

[Error404]

I had to replace both of those plastic bumper mounts on mine, they were about £4 each IIRC

[andy10v]

PM sent, that would be great as I will be working 6 days a week.

Should make lining the bumper up a bit easier, I have only ever had broken bits of that bracket

[andy10v]

Starting to smooth out a bit now and get some of the right shape.

Also chucked on an S6 wheel to check it cleared the arch before I got too carried away.

[Acidburn]

is that a 18inch rim?

[andy10v]

17"

Its an S6 wheel, 17x8 ET 35 with a 255 tyre on it.

[andy10v]

Coat of primer so I can see



Better than I thought it would be, still a lot of pinholes and slight depressions appear that were not visible. (Ignore the bit where the bumper meets, I need the bumper/bracket it finish it).

Much easier to actually see the panel shape though.

[Drummer87]

Getting there dude




Little encouragement

[andy10v]

Mmmmm, thats nice!

What type of paint did you use?

[andy10v]

Pulled the backbox and de cat off, I have a 2.75 downpipe back single box system to gon on, should sound nice

Old off, any use to anybody?


I also measured my rear anti roll bar, its 26mm, thats not stock

[irishs2]
