    Another write off of a weekend was on call so half way in to cleaning up the inside of the wheel wells i had to go to the docks and leave fizz and my cousin cleaning it up.

    The morning started off alright
    Got the rear beam off so now thats ready for a new lick of paint and a rebuild too

    These shells are un believeably light 2 of us to pretty much lift it 3 of us to carry it around the workshop with ease!

    Did some sandblasting on the discovered rust in the wheel arch looks like its not big enough to even bother worrying about so i etch primed it ( got to play with my new gun and mask)

    And will probably zinc it today since it has dried and the wax the crap out if it

    Inside of the car looks like a beach at the moment i tested the sand blaster on the seat rails and then etch primed them by by surface corrosion

    Also blasted the inside edge of the bootlid at the top where surface issues were showing primed that problem solved interesting usinf a spray gun for the first time ever i didnt realise how far primer paint went! 600ml lasted ages!!! No pics as we didnt achieve all that much and spent the balance of the day

    Thrashing my mk2 donor car around the yard hitting static objects and explodong dry ice bombs ... Poor mk2 the engine fl out by the end of the day

    Will post those videos later hahah

    Pretty solid day today

    Had the opportunity window open to go source a drive by wire loom from the local wreckers!

    Fizz and I wrecked an entire mk4 golf wagon.

    Scored basically everything i will need for my swap electronics wise keys pump booster dash. Dash re bar etc etc

    Also got a mk3 air con condenser



    Got heaps above is just the wiring loom we used a saw and carved the loom hole bigger just to make it easier to pull the loom out undamaged



    More to come tomorrow hopefully

    I like where this is going! That'll go quite nicely with a 24v VR6 lump
