Hey Mate. Try a heat gun and putty knife on the underseal, works a treat on my Escort. What part of the Naki you in? Im originally from Inglewood.

For you chassis repair sections, maybe grab another car and cut it up to save making up or patches. Need picture really to see how bad it is. I know there was (about 3 months ago) a anglia shell out the back of 42 Brown Street, Inglewood. May be worth a try to get it if your close.

i'm in hillsborough which is between bell block and egmont village.

i went to inglewood high haha

might have to look into the anglia shell out there, always interested in another shell at the right price for other projects.

obtaining the repair sections isn't really the problem, i have no issues with folding them up myself.

The problem i have is that i can't get at the front or ends of the section to weld them properly with that front panel in place, it really needs to be unstiched from the gaurds and taken off but that is well beyond my skill level.

i might get dads panel beater around for a visit and see if he can point me in the right direction

Sweet. Yeah, its out the back on the Mahoe Street side.

Yeah, I grew up in the wood but went to highlands and boys high instead on Ing high. Check out that shell, not sure if is still there or if its for sale.

All the best with the project, I completed my mini over three years of uni holidays while also working fulltime. Keep at it and youll get it done. Who you getting it certed by? Figure Steve Hildred is the only one in the Naki.

Dobsons in waitara can do certs but they have to get somebody down from aucks i think to do it, my mate has had his silvia on there waiting list for 7 weeks and they haven't got the guy down, he is getting pissed off.

Hildred will be certing my car though as he is a family friend and he does alot of our work, dad has been pretty much paying the wages - and some - of his fitter welder for the past month working on our race car.

as far as the front frame goes, it is spot welds along the length of it and probably just fillet welded at the ends.

250 is just what they cost from ebay with freight to nz, nothing special.

the throttle bodies i got in were freight free as a mate of dads carried them to the drilling rig from the states and then dad carried them home, but i cant do that now coz i wouldnt get them till about march.

i sold the throttle bodies on trademe for $150 which is what they owed me, somebody scored a bargain with those

cheers, i'm a bit gutted at having found all this rust underneath, i was hoping to have it stripped by now and be prepping it for paint...

i'm just plodding on at it though, i used to go down to the shed and stand there for an hour staring at it trying to work up the balls to cut the next bit off as they all seemed to be in more difficult places. found that was wasting too much time though, so now i just rip in and cut shit out haha :D

"IF IN DOUBT, CUT THAT SHIT OUT!" :lol:

argh!!! :evil: found even more rust and bad repairs this afternoon. i took one of the swaybar mounts off coz i want to rebuild what was behind it while i was doing the chassie rail repairs, and found some of the worst bad repairs i have found on the car yet. i'll post up some photos tonight.

so now i've gotta cut out even more of that area. i'm borrowing the spot weld remover tomorrow and then will start making big progress cutting bits out.
