DC_ Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hope you are all doing ok and keeping safe in these weird times! So as I’m self employed I’m currently doing hee haw work and still waiting on a help from the Gov 🙄 Anyhoo, I thought I might as well try my hand at repairing the 1987 110. The worst bits are the dreaded footwells and some bulkhead bits too. i know others could have done a better job but I’m kinda chuffed how the offside went. I’m currently onto the near side. Few pics for you to get your fix 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 That looks tidy. Its a ****ty job to do but good to have it done! I have a new bulkhead for mine because I cant bring myself to do the repairs you have done! Now I cant motivate myself to do the bulkhead swap because I may as well do a chassis at the same time. Then I think I know what will actually happen and the 110 will get stripped to do a panel by panel re-spray and rebuild! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning lots and now not so scared of things like this than I used to be 😱 if your chassis is in good nick maybe get on with the Bulkhead swap? But I’d say make a start and the rest will follow 😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_ Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Also been blessed with the weather to get on with it. Cuppa in hand, breaky about to go on and then get stuck in. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 That’s a fine job you have done there. Scary to see the corrosion behind those panels but l guess the vehicle is 33 years old. How many cars last 33 years with daily use and are still running? It’s going to be good for another thirty years when you have finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside wing I took off with the galvi inner wing still attached, but the nearside I separated them which was easier. I hope it does last a while after all this 😊👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_ Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Sitting on the deck in 22 ish degree sunshine enjoying a cold one after what was a longgg day on the rebuild. (I know not as big as some are doing) It’s almost there and I reckon tomorrow it’ll be test drive time. Fingers crossed 😎☀️🍺👍 hope you’re all doing ok 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
