just to recap on pillars

 

[AlpineWhite]

Pillar looks so much better Good work fella.

 

[crezz]

cheers mate, they took some doing, had to weld hem which made the warp abit . . 362 skims later git looking ok! lol

 

[crezz]

right then a little updat but unforuntly aint got many pics of it recently, put some hours in the last week or two.....finally managed to get calipers and carriers off and then get them apart! good use of a huge pair of mole grips and also a welded nut! haha

also pretty much finished the other wall of the bed and started on rear bulkhead..this is a major job

thats what it was like, get a picture hopefully tomorrow

stone chipped the passengers side bed wall as thats now compleate

the front panel is half welded on...ran out of mig wire...then gas...not a successful evening!

unforuntly the only wings i could get are shite and hardly line up at all..this is causing more blooming work then needed! haha..

also near enough done one door, had been welded and skimmed a few times, needs to be primed now really..

also started on the tailgate as io could sit out in the sun and do this...my tailgate is far far from the best, its bananerd inside and loads of dings and rippled on the outer skin...trouble is i cant afford £400 for a new one or £200ish for tidy straight one, so ill get it best i can..

get pics tommorow folks

 

[crezz]

well sorry but i forgot to take the pictures

got a pic of the tailgate after rub down and first skim aka bucket of filler!

before

[crezz]

still needs a few more skims and flattend back more, the colour at the moment is only a guide coat to spot the many thousand dents and dings.

 

[Krazy]

Nice work, can't wait to see the finished product..
I'm obsessed with mk1 golfs and caddys

 

[crezz]

popped round bro's today and spotted something you'd like - just been dropped off from respray so my brother can rip out the 1.6dsl and back for paint finish (bay's white)

coming back after paint for a heavy tuned 110 im led to believe which from driveforwards cordie being seen in action will be a bit of a beast

hope you can open rar files ?

cheers buddy...im liking that alot, really want to get mine in primer now...gona have a go at flipping the axle this weekend..damn its all seized under there tho

 

[Fl@pper]

really clean ride so far - will be good too once bay+motors done but still standard inside at present

must give brother a prod to drop me a line to the guy but i'll be stuck into it with him tomorrow ripping out all the running gear up front

 

[crezz]

ideal, keep me informed buddy!

 

[crezz]

after about 3 hours work...no sh!t i got the rear axle off and is now ready for a clean up....cut of leaf spring mounts, and weld them on the otherside to perform the flip...caddy will then be about 100mm lower on the rear! woop....need to wait for new u bolts and shorter rear shocks now.....ive also got some lowering blocks coming to so could be lowered to 150mm! now thats pimping!
