[ATESIX]

seriously insane build from ground up mate, love the atomic green, it really pops!

i can feel the engine bay is gonna be epic.

[greenmac80]

cheers man much appreciated.

ok my rolla finally in its new home at the workshop.

[Beefy_Heafy]

thats incredible work man. you need a medal or something, vic cross perhaps?

[greenmac80]

haha your a tripper dude.. you haven't seen anything yet ay!!

well long story but over the last few months i've been thinking to myself....
i botched some of those rust repairs. used waaay too much bog and fibreglass. although it
more than likely woulda been fine i've still decided to start over.

i have recently become aquainted with a qualified panel beater and he's agreed to help me out with this beastie.
so...

i stripped the drivers side rear vent section, flare, and rust repairs.

here is pics.

before


cut this out.


the gaping hole. we're gonna kinda tub it but reverse... the inner arch will be replace with a new arch kinda box shaped to allow clearance for
wider wheels, the old job still only allowed for an 8" wheel i'm aiming for 9-10"


bare metaled and the vent section cut again. my god this car had warped badly. since cutting and stripping tho its kinda gone back to it original shape.


also i've started stripping the engine bay as i've decided to go a different path with the bay.

progress should come along quite well now... hopefully.

I really like this thread.

Christ you're a picky bastard! Original work was beyond most peoples standards and you're starting again! So massive props on being dedicated to fine work.

I'm keeping an eye on this one.

[greenmac80]

Breaka: cheers man.! i am dedicated. this car has been a massive learning curve!

i'm looking forward to seeing it finished and starting another car.! the next car will hopefully be a lot quicker!!

[Beefy_Heafy]

hells yeah man. 2xvic cross! (there are only like 13 left to be given out... ever, u might end up with all of them). I was looking at the bog, although awesome i think the same thing that was playing on ur mind came to mine "definantly better to replace metal with metal and not bog / fiberglass". Even tho this is probably the most extreme rebuild thread ive ever seen i think it just went to the next level. Keep up the awesome work. dont get disheartened, i know i might.

[greenmac80]

cheers man your a legend!! sometimes feedback is the only thing keeping me going.!
make me think of how good its gonna be the first time i drive it!

well anyways..
Ok i have a biiigggg weekend planned for this puppy.

basically strip bare the floor pan inside and out engine bay and boot and prime.

i purchased another 4 litre kit of high fill parabuild protec primer. 2 pack.

also purched some protec clear. called profile i've worked with it a few times and its really good and quite cheap. also 2 pack.

then i think next week end i may paint the KE30 now that i have all the gear.!
