my mk1 reshell project

sorry mate but i wont b doing anything on it now till after xmas waiting for santa to bring the uno some presents lol

now the weather is slowly getting better thought id pull me finger out and do a bit more on the uno and do a little update fitted me new locks and fitted the cleaned up and now straighter door panels


fitted me new rear beam mounts to the refurbed beam cleaned up the rear spring top mounts and painted and tidyed the rear springs up

and fitted the rear beam with new dampers sorry forgot to take pics till after but back on wheels at the back anyway although wheels will have to come of again for a refurb and still looking a bit high considering its on lowering springs hoping it will settle lower


thats all for now another update soon

good progress Rob, still loving the paint mate.
got to pull my finger out now the weather is getting better.

cheers dean mate fairly happy with the paint myself given the circumstances it was sprayed in and hoping the suspension drops a bit more as looks a bit like a 4x4 with that arch gap lol

Looking good Rob, keep up the hard work!

cheers mate

update time but keep forgeting to take certain pics so refurbed master cylinder and pedal box and cross over bar sorry forgot to take pics refurbed top mounts with new mounts

and shocks


cleaned and resprayed the front cross member fitted new wishbones sprayed anti roll bar fitted with new bushes refurbed steering rack and fitted new track rod ends

fitted to car

and recovered the bulkhead heatshield opinions on this please as im not sure if i like it can also see the master cylinder in this pic

Looking mint rob!

How are your plastic bits on the top mounts? The grey things?

Also, not keen on the heat sheild.....looks a little D.I.Y for my liking.

Dunc

looks good Rob mate, i was thinking of going down the same sort of line with mine for the heat sheild.

cheers lads yeah still not sure on the heatshield myself dunc the grey plastic bits of the top mounts are fine just needed a good clean

little update time refurbished me handbrake and switch and fitted to car
refurbished rear valve housing with new valve and fitted

and fitted new brake pipes

Looking great, SO jealous of your colour-coordinated floor pan!

cheers mate more work than you think tho painting a floor pan

Coming together great mate,after all the prep and painting it must be a joy to start bolting the fresh parts back on.

Tough call on the heat shield,i am quite fond of a bare bulk head if the paint is still in good shape,saying that it don't look out of place imo and will still look good once the engine and everything is bolted back in there.

the bulk head paint is fine mate as i sprayed it but wanted an heatshield on it as most seem to leave them of when restoring prob due to the risk of them catching fire but i wanted to b diffrent lol and was the best way i could think of to refurb the heatshield its growing on me wasnt to keen on it to start with as its a bit shiny compared to the oe one

and yeah it feels great to b getting it back together

update time again fitted the fuel tank fuel pump with all new pipes and carrier that was all previously refurbed




refurbed the wing mirrors and fitted to the car



and refurbed the hubs fitted to the car along with the shocks


fitted new disks and finally back on all four wheels altho wheels still need a refurb and its still of the ground as it threw it down just after i got the wheels on so its still on axle stands

bloody hell another that's come on loads since I was last here. good work mate.

cheers dean mate was hoping to get it ready for the retro show but i think i was being a bit to optimistic lol
