Too many choices....Rebuild project UPDATE 17-08-05

[peter møller]

Ok, used 8 hours today on preparing the car for paint. Turns out that we couldnt fit the rear hatch, and spent better part of an hour to try and adjust. We then did a shitload of measuring, and it turned the roof has been damaged during the roll-over. Actually it was the "beams" that were out of shape, so after a couple of hours of fun in the sun trying to bend everything back into shape, i would say that we are in the clear. Everything fits perfectly now and the roof looks to be where it´s supposed to be, and the cross measurements confirm that impression.
Have a look at the pictures to see how we managed to succed with different tools and some lively imagination.

that looks like fun!!

I hope that the car is still straight though....

Put a cage in and make sure the floor chassis is straight...Nice work though.

[Widar]

Nice work! I agree, go for a cage when you already have the car so cleared!

A bit more pics from today....
Will update again tomorrow when finished.

Nice work !!!

time to get a fire extinguisher and chissel out and take all the sound deadening material off the floor and loose some weight.

Totally agree with everyone - it would be rude not to stick a full cage in there - I take it that you indend it to be a stripped out monster.

Have you decided on a colour yet ?

2 ian.g: Fire extinguisher? I saw that people use dry ice, but i dont know where to buy it here. Can I use fire extinguisher instead?

[JonT]

Just move to Aberdeen, it's cold enough here to chip off the deadening stuff !

Hi @dodo@

Some of the guys in the uk have blasted it with a fire extinguisher and that seems to make it a bit easier to get off.

I'm waiting for a volenteer to do mine :wink:

2 Ian G.:
I read an article how to use dry ice and hammering with similar results :-)
