project gtir :)

Thought I would start a project thread

Pictures first.







Plan is to finish my current gtir this year and then move over to this one and get it done for next year some time.
The rear arches are bubbling and the back of the sills need repairs.
And the passenger footwel needs welding also.
Someone fit bucket seats badly so those frames need cutting out and new gtir mounts welding back in.
So will be asking everyone that's breaking one if the can cut both floor pans out for me...
I have started selling a few things off it that aren't wanted.
And swapped the steering wheel into my other gtir.
And then swapped the momo one in the pictures for a seat of standard seats.
So all I need are the rear seat brackets and rear quarter cards

Plan at the moment it to do a standard rebuild but I do have other thoughts in my head so this may change..

That'll keep you more than busy then Stu !! Looks like a nice shell though and ready to start putting back together ! Keep us updated mate !

Im looking forward to watching the progress on this one Stu

Yeah should keep me busy for a while mate lol
I will start getting the interior brackets and plastics first I think.
Then find a carpet
The shell is very clean. Has the usual rust areas but nothing major.

I will update as and when I get things done. Wont be a quick build tho.

I didn't notice at first how the seat rail has been cut out. Would that have been for super low mounting?

Yeah I guess so Woody.
Its a right bodge.
I will need to get that section cut out and a new section welded in.

That will be a fun job. I've got replace my passenger one, it's all pushed up from some idiot with a jack

Its nothing I can do so will take it to the garage down the road and let them work their magic on it

Still not convinced you to buy a welder yet stu

Lol I have thought about it mate.
Maybe I will get one

You do have plenty have stuff to weld now. I bet you'll find a bargain one in no time

If you do find one pop the link up or tell us what it is ... so we can tell you wether its shit or not lol ...

I will have a look in a week or two and let you guys know lol

Good work Stu will be a fun little project, also it looks like you could squeeze another one in there if you needed to

Thanks Tom.

And yeah I guess I could squeeze another in. Wouldnt be able to work on them tho lol

Leaving it there on the grass against the fence will rot in no time if you don't plan on touching for a while.
Can't you put a cover under and over it?
Good luck with the project, man you are seriously addicted....it's sure in your blood.

Andy it's only on about 6 inches of grass mate.
The drive sweeps around under the window.
When im feeling better I will shimmy it over more towards the house and it should then be completely off the grass
Yeah im definitely addicted to these little blighters haha it's all good fun tho
