Fair play Joe, would have been a shame to rush it at this stage when you have went so far.
Going to be the business when your finished :afro:
Right ok so, I have been weighing up the options of what to do with the bay, and instead of just fixing the areas that fucked up on me I started at it again. Say what yea want, Im not doing a half arsed job at this so for piece of mind id prefer to have the bay perfect. There is another few areas around the bulkhead that I marked when I was putting the engine in the last time so Ill be fixing them too.
I want there to be absolutely so rust on this car when it goes back together and in order to make sure of that iv stripped everything out of it in search of it. After I removed the carpet there is areas around where the roll cage went through the floor that are covered in surface rust, nothing too major but Im gonna attack it sooner rather then later.

I managed to convince the mother to let me work on the car inside in the garage, its plenty big enough but the door is at a pure shite angle and is too narrow. It took me about 1 hour and 30 mins to get the car fully inside!!

And there it is, all tucked up at night.

And the fucker of a cat has made the car his bed!!!

So the search continues and more and more parts were removed, surprisingly even with all the bits removed from the car its still quite heavy!!!
Dropped the subframe to get it cleaned up and sprayed before it goes back on.

My parts room is starting to fill up very quickly!!!
http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...B5352C5FCA.jpg
And here is how it stis at the moment, the more I remove parts off the car the more rust I find but thankfully its still only surface rust!!

So the time came to start back at the engine bay. I did consider just sanding it down again but it took forever the last time so I got the sandblaster out and went at it.

Really was a pain in the arse but saved a considerable amount of time, not yet finished but it wont take much longer. Next on the list is to go at the underside of the car, removing and treating and further rust and then a coat or two of schultz under the car.
Thats all for now, this shouldnt take too long to finish all this prep work as iv found the motivation I needed to get stuck into the car.
