[lemski]

That bad. No paper work. U could find a set of p slots if you wanted it to be original though.

i thought you were going to have the original sticker on the engine remade?

Where's that come from...  well remembered.. PS have you had a look at page 47 after the fusebox comments....  Um yeah I do but haven't really touched the engine bay since I moved on to more desperate stuff.. I don't like what I have done under there now though but it will be getting some proper attention over winter.... My mate can replicate on Photoshop I think but need someone to print it.

Lazylunatic might be able to help, he does stickers/vinyl etc

Saw the paint updates last night, for rattle cans it doesnt look half bad 

also heating the cans up in hot water is a good idea but i have no power in my garage so i cant heat the panels unlike yourself...

should be painting the front panel today, satin black, wish me luck! i have just less than 1 full can left, can i do it?!?!

Yeah pictures can make everything look better!  nah its not too bad, it'll look a little hod rod like when finished  but it will only be for a year if all goes to plan... I have no power either, just very long extentions... i'm guessing your garage is fooking miles away from your house though!....   Good luck but i'm sure you will be fine.  at least its more of a hidden area that you're doing.  Take a large empty drinks bottle filled with hot water and a washing up bowl with you??

As for the sticker, yeah I may drop LL a line but its got to be silver and OK with engine heat...   anyway you can tell the engine side of things have gone quiet, I still haven't sorted out that box for the relays after you offered! 

Watch this space... got a couple of interesting, recently aquired pics coming from when the front was stripped down and fixed!

This thread was missing the pictures of the original repair..... I now have them!

Despite my lack of confidence in the car being repairable... It was proven to me that anything is possible.. If you're reading this Dave, THANK YOU!!! You are my Hero!

Unpicked welds and lots of grafting!  Inner wing/turret and front panel removed





OEM Inner Wing, turret and front panel Removed From Donor Car



And after very time consuming work he ended up with this!

That's pretty impressive work and my hat is off to you for taking it on

It reminds me of a blue Y reg mk1 that I purchased for spares about 18 years ago that had very similar accident damage. The car was in immaculate condition and completely rust free prior to the accident and it seemed such a shame to scrap the shell. Shame it never occurred to me at the time to look for a donor front end

That's what i'm talking about! My hat is also off to you and on a plate!

Shaun, you never fail to impress me!
