Moley's rebuild

Grrr bloody car is back on the drive again, nothing with this car is ever straight forward. Luckily I have a backup plan so should be in another accommodation shortly, so just a set back!

Ah thats a blow mate. How come the R has been thrown out the garage?

The guy who was sub-letting me the space realised he didn't have enough space afterall as his workload has gone through the roof. Got my rent money back so not too much of an issue as its a mate of my brothers. Looking at putting her in a big barn now.

Thats a shame. Hopefully you sort something out soon.

I do grounds maintenance on a guys house so im gonna chat with him and see if I can use his barn and trade rent for work

Not good mate but at least it was before your had stared anything.

Yeah I was gutted but this other place will be better.

Been a while since I last updated this due to several reasons but anyway, she is now resting in her new place and I have finally got this ball rolling, so to speak.

Got bumpers, side skirts, lights and exhaust off so far. I think ive come off light with regards to rust as the sills are almost spotless. However the rear bumper was hiding the bad rust.

Im sure this is a common sight for many owners...

Mine had gone in exactly the same place mate. The panels from carz for the rear 1/4 have these so I've bought both side ready for when I replace them.

Got a link Mark?

Thanks fella

Got a bit more done yesterday, what a pita the washer bottle connections were to remove, thought I was gonna rip the pumps out!
Think the radiator has seen better days

Every little helps mate keep it up

Keep up the good work will be a good to see how you are getting on with her!

Not much rust on that
Did you buy this car off Wezz? His reg ended with emo.

No stu, bought it from an importer in uxbridge. Nearly left with a skyline or gto instead. Indy's ends in emo or is it ajay's? Think there are 4 like it.

I spy what looks like an arc intercooler

It is indeed, i will be giving it a fresh lease of life hopefully in the rebuild process.

Well the R is on the move again...


...to somewhere bigger, brighter and better


Im sharing this with my brother so will give me more enthusiasm hence my last update was june

For those interested in something a little different this is my brothers project

Looks a great place for a project pete ..... like the other is it a chopped bettle ???

Looks like a big space to work in? and it's always good having another person to keep you motivated

I would be dangerous if I had somewhere good like that to work

looks like a nice sized garage pete, ideal place to work on car over the winter months.

what is that thing your brothers got? looks like an old skool ford pop to me that's been chopped but has a beetle bonnet

It started out life as a 72 beetle, it is in the stages of becoming a rat rod pickup. Its had the roof chopped and lowered, got an extended front beam and i think its gonna have a disc conversion for the front.
