Looks like a 2.0 one I'd say from that.

I hope you got the car cheap! I'd be shocked if your paying more than £300 for machining and labour

Re: Project "K80" ZT - Shell Stripping (10/06)

Postby Tweek on Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:45 pm

It's about time I started getting on and doing some work to this shell so today I started whacking it with the sharp end of a screwdriver, no joke. Decided to start at the back and work around to the front

Not much going on here...
Image

Number plate screws aren't in the right place, here's why. Oh and I made a hole
Image

Hello hole
Image

OEM mudflaps have given up after all these years
Image

Moving to the n/s sill, not much going on here
Image

O/S sill, reasonably clean but a strange bit of crumble to fix there, and a large "palm sized" scab just about visible further up
Image

Random dented centre chassis rail
Image

Although looking ugly, the rear beam mounting area seems to be solid, other side has been patched previously though. (both pics of "good" side)
Image
Image

To the front, those very horrid rusty wings, well, they don't seem to go too far so I'll have them cut out and plated. I don't think it's worth replacing the whole wings just for this...
Image
Image

This one was quite a nasty surprise though surrounding the n/s bumper bolt
Image

The rest of the front end. PAS cooler definitely requires moving.
Image

This backs up the paperwork that the car was previously owned by a woman
Image

All those bits are hopefully being cut out and welded this week, along with the o/s front wheel arch behind the tyre in the water trap, about 2inch by half inch I whacked out of there. Overall it's not bad, considering the age/mileage/external condition of the car it's fairly minimal on rust. Certainly much better than the 5dr :)

In other news, thanks to Steve (rs220bhp) again I now have more parts to move this along. New tinted windows, wind deflectors and a pro-alloy intercooler. The intercooler was a stroke of luck as it's the only one I kinda like the look of, it's a nice medium size.
Image

Difference in window colour is more apparent side-by-side
