It's the first time this has been out of the shed for nearly 3 years.  Time for a good sort out now theres plenty of space.  Looking forward to some serious blueness in the not too distant future.  |

It's sunbathing. Warming its self on a summers day.
You must be very pleased. Well done.

Me too. That was some work you put into that to get it to better than factory prep.

Can’t wait to see her painted, this labour of love had been exceptional to keep an eye on.
I loved my GLi, this has brought back all my late 80’s/early 90’s memories of this wonderful motor.
Top bombing 👍🏻

Yesterday was mostly spent elsewhere, but I managed to get down the farm for a couple of hours. I bare metalled the bumper brackets in preparation for a bit of paint, then cleaned up the plastic front end parts that will be going over to the paint bloke on Monday.  Just looking over the front end of the shell before I left, it seemed a shame that none of this will be seen once the car is back together.  I also remembered the state of the thing once the bodge repairs were removed nearly 3 years ago!   |

That has been so worth the wait. All that hard work and prep has really paid off. Looking forward to seeing reassembly 👍

Pottering about in the shed today weighing up how much cavity and underbody wax I need to buy. Several other items required for the rebuild have been put on a list to facilitate procurement. The parts bare metalled yesterday got treated with Hydrate 80, and were subsequently primed ready for some satin black paint.  Whilst having a rummage through the boxes of parts, I came across the VIN plate, this was duly riveted back on.  I had a quick comparison of the old and new paint before all the old stuff is gone.  Its reasonably close, most of the difference probably due to UV damage over the last 30 odd years. |
