great find on the rare panels john

[John Owens]

Popped into a scrapyard I was passing today whilst out working . Found these :



It's all the small things that add up to make the bigger picture I believe ........
Nipped over to my lock up to see the old girl :

That's the first I've seen her since October . I really do miss driving her , I think that's why I've stayed away so long

[Deeksin]

brilliant work on sourcing they pannels some rare stuff mate like you say will be well worth it when done no rush

[John Owens]

Yeah Deek , I was real lucky . Probably gonny head up to your kingdom & get the boys at chizfab to weld her .
What ill do in the mean time will be to take off the rear suspension cradle , rub it down paint it ( red perhaps ?) & pollybush it then re fit it . Ill probably throw on new groved discs & back plates too . I can do all that stuff myself so itll just be the price of the parts i shell out for .trying to find the time just now is a major stumbling block as I'm working six days a week in the taxi Pah !

[John Owens]

And again ..... Just met up with top bloke Benny Mac for these lovelies , they're all freshly shot blasted & painted
Too ! Thanks again Matey

Hopefully the Gsi will stop now once they're fitted lol

[John Owens]

More goodies , picked up a new rear crash bar as mine is pretty rotten & also a new front crossmember . Getting there gradually ......

[Envoy CDX]

Excellent, I'll be watching this one

[John Owens]

Not much of an update but all the little bits add up .i managed to drag my lazy ass over to my lock up today & painted the turbo front & rear calipers . I also tidied the rear drilled / grooved brake discs I picked up last week .just need to get meriva TD front discs & that's the brake upgrade sorted

[Ads]

a good selection of parts you have to fit John, now its finding the time to do it,but its the best way, take you time with it and make sure its done right, Ads

[John Owens]

Cheers Ads , will do mate . Hopefully this little lot & braided lines all round will make a big difference to the brakes . I'm gonny whip off the rear suspension cradle next then clean paint & polybush it all then ill refit it all in the one go. That's the plan but as you say it's finding the time lol

[Ads]

im the same mate, i say to myself ill do this and that, but finding the time is always difficult, but ill get all the jobs done some day LOL, Ads
