Yellow RS project

Hello all, thought I'd start posting some pics of my RS project, only two so far, computers playing silly buggers so I'll try to put some more up later.
I'm about two years into it. All the bits missing for the car have been replaced or claened and put in boxes. I'm building it down so when it's painted it'll go back together straight away. Got lots of goodies, like the wheels, factory tint windows, FM radio etc.
Interiors all done, as with exterior fittings, collecting parts for the engine now.
Wiring was finished off this weekend, ran the engine bay loom down the chassis rail which wasn't as hard as I thought and retaped that and the rear tail light etc loom.
 A freinds coming around to do the welding over the next few weeks, bodies not bad at all, just a bit of rust in the floors, around windscreen and one rear arch. It's great to be actually working on the car itself, past couple of years it's just sat while I collect parts.
Stay tuned.............
 

Ticked a few more jobs off the list this week, finishing the last of my boot items, welded a new support to the factory a/c battery box, cover was good so its been cleaned, bagged and tagged. Dug out another odd part I saved from the back of a wreck a few years ago, an original goodyear 175 tyre, like new, but not 'usable' pretty delicate, gently got it off the rim at work, will tube it and use it as a boot ornament....
Starting engine bay, port matched the stock inlet manifold, took the casting marks off the outside and sanded it smooth until my fingers bled
 Now for the fun part, paint the battery box and buff/ polish the manifold this weekend...............

Now I'm cooking, the girly heard me swearing and has helped out, she's a keeper
Heres the manifold ready for it's final stint on the buffing wheel, internally not too much has been done, it's had the castings taken out and lightly polished, top and bottom have been port matched. Outside all the castings have been ground off, sharp edges rounded off and all the stipple texture has been sanded smooth. Has been quite a rewarding job, alloys a great material to work with......

I'm liking your work drewdog. Keep the pics and info coming.

This post will be titled "The Damage I Did'
Spent the last couple of weekends welding the rear of the car, it was closest to the welder  Mainly filling holes I'd drilled for the cage and fueling when it was hotrod. Bit of rust in the corner of the windows and one of the arches, fixed the fuel cap gap and replaced all of the little tabs for the wiring, the old ones were pretty wobbly. I'll test fit the lights and bumpers again next weekend and move onto the engine bay............

Hello all, got a solid two days in this weekend,
 Finished test fitting the taillights during the week, slow job, fit, check, remove, tweak, fit *repeat*. Happy with the panel gap now though.
Big day on Saturday, two mates on hand, borrowed a crane and plucked the engine and box like a giant skill tester. Had a good look at the bulkhead for the first time in a while, its cactus, ordering the replacement panels now to go in asap. Moved on to what we could do in the meantime on Sunday, cleaned up all the holes in the inner wings, mainly holes I'd drilled for electric pumps and the like, as you can see it was a tight squeeze in there with helmet on a welder in hand
Looking for diagrams on where to unpick the bulkhead panels this week..........
 

good to see another esky being restored

Chipped away at the car for a few hours this weekend, finished cleaning up the wiring, it runs down the chassis rail now so welded in the tabs to hold it,  welded the old wiring holes, rear arch too and made a makeshift strut brace before taking any material out of the bulkhead ahead of patching and replacing. We've nick named the car 'The Rotten Lemon'
Starting to find a painter, visiting a few shops this week..........
