Blimey, I finally have an update  Got a new welder for my birthday (cheers mum) Sealey Supermig 180  Had a move around in the workshop a couple of weeks ago  Being kept company by a C210 skyline and a Toyota Celica  Got myself a new set of wheels too, 7x13 ;D  Chocolate, the new standard measurement of dish  They look awesome   Took out the rubbish spring assistors at the back and the the rear dropped an inch straight away. Gravity FTW  Also cut out grot ready to weld in the new lower rear quaters   One side is better than the other, mainly due to the rot that was in there to begin with  |

I have fond memories of these, my mum had one as her first car, VKO 123J .... brilliant car, the accelerator peddle snapped going up a hill once!..
Glad to see one being saved..

Cheers BC Hoping to get down there and weld on wednesday night. I have plans for those wheels, involving spacers and fender flares. This is my inspiration Obviously without the manky side skirts    |

Small update. Had a tidy up and put up my new top box.  Serviced SWMBO car (not worthy of a picture) Finally got to set my new welder up. And after much annoying frigging about trying to get a decent regulator to fit. I DID SOME WELDING Hole  No hole  |
