Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
Excellent progress on the bodywork Gray , made me envious lol ! Can't wait till I'm at that stage too ! Well smart , especially once it's sitting on its new rims 

Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
Its due back in 3 weeks, brakes, suspension, new radiator, undersealing / waxoyling to do.
Bodykit will follow 2 or 3 weeks later, gives me time to sort all above
standard trim will have to go in for now, but want to get the seats retrimmed if I find somewhere reasonable

Around 400 per seat, genuine alcantara is expensiveGray16v wrote:Its due back in 3 weeks, brakes, suspension, new radiator, undersealing / waxoyling to do.

I have a quote now but £1650 is well over what I wanted to pay, might be on the look out for a mint GSi interior although I still have the two front seats I had off you Troy, they might clean up ok.btcctroy wrote:Around 400 per seat, genuine alcantara is expensiveGray16v wrote:Its due back in 3 weeks, brakes, suspension, new radiator, undersealing / waxoyling to do.

Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
Looking good though the rear arches could look better. They dont look orginal as they flare out more.

Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
can't get GM arches now they are discontinued, arches have not been replaced, they were solid. They do flare, its just the matt of the paint, it doesnt showbtcctroy wrote:Looking good though the rear arches could look better. They dont look orginal as they flare out more.
Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
I'm not attacking you lol. I'm just being critical. The repair panels take a lot of work to look spot on. I used 2 r epair panels to get the original seam line as it stands out a mile that they've been replaced

Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
not taking it as an attack lol, I see what you mean, the trim line is very deceiving, it looks worse because the arse end is up in the air. Lets see what its like when its painted
Re: 1992 GSi Project restore maybe
No progress on the car, slabs are refurbished now with new falken rubbers too
