Another 610 in for a makeover

[BIG_MVS]

Sheesh you lot are hard work.

Anyway back on topic, any more updates Clee?

Have a pic from the Knutsford meet 2009 when I last saw it and drove it too. (those still suffering from confused.com please pm me for a full explanation).

Sean's one just about done as far as rot goes so I've spent today getting this one prepped for the trip nextdoor .Sean's back to me for finishing and further rot removal .This one in for a good while once I've stripped the lump ,running gear and interior out .....

Guts out for the trip nextdoor ...weary now ....



New transmission jack just arrived for to help support when the main lift points are fecked .
Automotec ....the only real choice for the Alpeen restorererer .I just need to get some graphics for the toolboxes now ..

Rot removal well underway ..Also removing the previous repairs ,quality steel on quality street




Sill work ,both sides need full length replacing .

Watching this and other similar threads I never realised there was so much metal, (or not as the case may be), in them thar Alpeeenes

Give ne a GTA anyday over a 610 ......fer fecks sake they rot ...and there's twice as much metal .

LHS done ....sweeping up ...99p no reserve



Drivers side footwell next ,a complete nightmare .Caused mostly by the previous ye-ha repairs

Cover yourself in glue Lee, roll around in it, stick a daft stove pipe hat on your head and hey presto, your very own SteamPunk outfit on the cheap....

Got enough for day and evening wear .....................

Woah. You really have.

I can't even make out what bit of the car that is. Another arch / footwell?

Whatever,
It's not pretty haha.
Looks like drivers footwell looking Aft.
Shows sills and door post too.
Doing a great job saving these cars though Lee.

Lol, where do you get these ideas Darren? very funny!

Has to be said, scary thought, these cars are known to hit some high speeds out there on the black stuff... could be sat on dust as protection! Puts new meaning to the phrase plastic fantastic.... I can only imagine they are all the same, unless had a very sheltered life in a humidity controlled environment, and won't find that in a barn... Seems you are an order of magnitude safer in an old GTA... mind that is starting to make me think twice...

No idea Martin. I'm strangely intrigued by the whole sub-culture thing.... making yourself look like you've got a rusty exhaust pipe for an arm and carrying a monocle does make you look a bit of a t*t in my book.

But on the other hand there's other bits of it I find oddly fascinating.....



I think it's something to do with the welding goggles....

Always liked the tech side of it ,not so much the dressing up ..well,me dressing up that is .

See, girl on the right - welding goggles again Lee. They're all welding something.... Where are these girls when you need a floorpan or subframe fixed up?


By the way, the tall chap (second from the left) - is that BigM with a goatee and pair of specs?
