GTA Rebuild Underway....

Loveing the wood in the bumper , looks a good project and will be watching your progress, good luck.

Thanks for the encouragement chaps!!

Cineman - Sounds like I'm in a similar situation to you. The front end doesn't look anything like as bad as the rear, lots of surface rust but have not seen any deep rot. Like you, I believe that some of the front subframe is bonded into the body, something I don't want to disturb unless I really have to... Have a good search through some of the older posts on this forum, there is lots of useful information in here

Thanks Andy My subframe is not so in great conditions, and i would prefer to make something to it, maybe just ferox and paint would be ok, but i have to see it closely.
anyone has a suggest for one old good topic to see photos for this ?

Work has continued (slowly ) and now the subframe is ready for fitting -



I have also started to make a new n/s headlight bracket as the original was somewhat rotted -



At least the o/s bracket is good, and as one is effectively a mirror image of the other I can use this as a template -



Made a blank replacement and set about cutting and filing -




Another couple of hours with the files and it should be ready!

Andy.

Hi Andy

I like the new headlight bracket, looking good.

Keep up the good work.

Paul.
