juggz gsi re-build

[juggz]

hi all,thought i`d do a short write up on my re-build,its been off the rd for 2 yrs and today it passed its mot so im a happy chappy.
this is how it looked to start with,nothing major wrong just a bit of rust on the arches.

then the rust........

sooooooo......the rot was gotten rid of,if ya going to do a job its worth doing it proper...


new panels put on....



then primed & sprayed.....



so then it was back at home where i could sort the underside stuff out.


stripped the back end,ready for stone guarding also the front arches were done aswell....

after stone guard

all fitted back up...

fitted new brake lines..
