Don't want to say I told you so...broke wrote:Just you wait Luke, you think the paint and panel is the hard part, but once it's all painted you'll be looking at all the rusty/dirty latches and bolts and brake master cylinder, suspension bits etc, guarantee you'll be wanting all that stuff mint before you bolt it back on!
Excellent effort though, I see the motivation is strong with this one Obi Wan. Can't wait to see this thing finished, when I get my 1600 down you can feel free to come around and put it back together for nothing while I drink beer and bark orders at you.

I fitted them with your directions!!!!luke wrote:no!!!! jeremy has them upside down!!!! we both know i cant fit them!
... maybe that was the problem. Calipers still look like they would still bolt up ok that way round.
If Luke feels motivated he can turn them over, now he has a picture to go by.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Re: Stripping out coupe/Rust repairs/Welding
well the world can be a sad and strange place, during garage night last night, and in my absence, it was discussed and decided that the new car in the shed (lukes 1200 obviously) ........... was a hillman avenger?????????This from people old enough to be my parents, where were they in the 70,s and has anyone ever seen an avenger with only 2 doors, when i told them it was a 1200 coupe, they said a what....?
