[tech1889]

I already have some 

I have step down 3/4 to 1/2inch for the big breaker bar and i cant see anything it wouldnt undo 

Gonna order me primer and some other paint hopefully end of the week.. Also need to find a welder

I also highly recommend GT85 penetrating fluid, and it smells nice too...

Pish and tish - GT85 is shyte.  PlusGas all the way, or any genuine penetrating fluid over 'maintenance' sprays.

You've gone balls deep with this, fair play mate 

[tech1889]

Yer i bloody have lol thing is as its my second car i find it much easier to work on as i dont have to rush anything and so far the shell has proved to be pretty solid and should only need a little welding in the end..  should have bay done in a couple of weeks need money for paint though 

[Andy P]

My Mk2 is a weekend car too, its far easier when its that way. Ive waited YEARS to be in this situation 

Are you buying a complete ABF Mk3 to swap it all over?

[tech1889]

I already have my mk3 ABF sitting here just want to change all the belts and waterpump etc before i fit it.. I have both looms out and waiting for money to send them off to be spliced..

whats happening with yours ??

[Andy P]

Cool, so all the big money spending is done. Id like to drive a ABF'd Mk2. Nice spread of power 

Mine? Not much mate. Just had the bumpers retextured, ive got a linkage bush kit to replace, i need to fit membrane on the doors and replace with window rubbers all round. Thats on my to-do list at the minute 

Im picking up my RM lips from the polishers this weekend then ill book the centres in for powdercoating.

Hopefully it should all come together at once

[tech1889]

Sounds really nice mate... one of my bumper brackets are broken and im not sure whether it will be just as strong if its plastic welded or should i get another ?? how did you find your bumpers looked after texturing any pics ??

The big spending on my car is going to be the paint.. it needs a full respray including shuts and i wana remove windows.. my cars suffered from really bad lacquer peel..

Where you get your rubbers from ?? i need two doors rubbers and new window rubbers all round for after the respray 

I cant wait for it to start taking shape and stop looking so sorry for itself lol
