A New Front End

Posted by Comments Off on A New Front End

The front had suffered a little damage and had been badly repaired by an insurance company.

So off it went to Neil Rainger for some TLC.

First things first strip off all the bits with bog, bad paint, bent bits and rust.

The old engine got ripped out and dumped.

New bonnet as the old one was rippled and beyond repair. When polishing the car the washer jet always used to bug me as the would catch the polish and turn horrible colour there a pain to colour code , sooo….

new bumper as the old had a weird bend in it ?

Mass of wires.

new cross member

Most important bit, the front chasis leg was crumpled slightly which causes the whole front end to looked weird. So cut it off welded a new bit on.

All welded up

Into the spray booth

For 2 years the car basically sat as I concentrated on uni, due to fact I was in all day every day and had also re-involved myself in swimming , it left very little time for anything else, so the car got stuck in storage (Nan’s garage). Out of sight, out of mind.
