With the correct set-up, time, patience and lots of practice there really is no reason why you can't
Welding really is a case of practice makes perfect.

I'll just have to keep trying lol.
You really are doing a pucker job in her though m8.

I got a bit more done today. The passenger wheelarch is all done, just needs grinding and painting.
Cut out all the rust on the passenger side scuttle

That arch looks mint. I really need to get some of that grey primer you use, no bits of surface rust come back at all there

Today I have finished the wheelarch the wing has been removed to show how different it looks

Loads more room now, have you drilled those holes at the top too?

Yea I got a set of dimple dies so it flares the hole. Adds a lot a strength

Looks rather tidy under there now. What's next?

She's looking good m8 you're doing well with that good work.

Well I have nearly completed under the Bonnet. I have a couple of tubes to weld in and fit the replacement lower panel then it's ready for paint
Here's a couple of pics

Love the wheel arches!

The gutters look spot on.

Bit more of an update. The engine bay is complete and ready for stripping and painting
Welded the bulkhead tube supports for the roll cage which will be fitted at a later date.




Also got a Bailey header tank. I will be moving the top hose spout as its in the wrong place bit fits quite nicely after modding the bonnet a bit


Finally got a set of qed/jenvey direct to head throttle bodies for a bargain price. All thanks to Dan for keeping his eyes open, Cheers Pal

That looks really good, tubes look very neat!

Header tank looks like a corsa B one?

Throttle bodies look mint, should finish off your engine nicely

Yes its a corsa be. I have a corsa alloy twin core radiator too but it does look small. Should be ok

People use the alloy radiators on corsa xe's with no problems so it should be fine.

slowly coming together troy

Looking good m8 can't wait to see the finished result.

The floor Is pretty much done just need to fit the so called jacking point. A couple of before and after pics for those who are interested

Nice job. Looks like a differant car now.

Good work fella!

Well finally managed to get a bit done on the cav today. It's now all in primer just need to sort a few imperfections before top coat.
Also made a bracket so the abs unit can go under the dash, I was going to remove it all but its just as easy to relocate it so went with that

looks sweet dude

Where are you going to put your biscuits if you have the glove box full of abs?
