Managed to get a bit done in the last week or so, the better weather certainly helps :chill: Got the wing and side skirts primed, still a bit of work to do on the one skirt tho http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff204/Birdyvw/Rebuild/12032011209.jpg old wing off, inner wing is fine so there was no n...

While i was on a roll i thought i'd start looking at repairing the rear arch. I decided to use the full repair panel, figured it would be easier to weld and fill/blend with the original body panel http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff204/Birdyvw/Rebuild/24022011180.jpg Got the panel ready to be mark...

Trailer build?

The arb brackets have both had it http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff204/Birdyvw/Rebuild/16022011...

Did this myself on Saturday and all i can say is be prepared to bleed, swear and take your time :hugegrin: The beam on mine has been on the car for 26 years, needless to say its never taken me so long to remove 4 nuts! One took nearly an hour by the time i'd cleaned the thread and gone through nearl...
