This is the one thing that has got me worried, no idea how to attack this spot, some handy suggestion via fb but Im open to more.
Picked this slug up after the ebay auction had been sniped from under me, in saying that I got it alot more cheaper than I had expected. Plans up until blue slip are stock resto, maybe low.
The good, bad and normal gem related sh*t:
74000k's, 161 runs better than my tf, everything electrical works fine, even started first go with stale fuel from 05.
The doors, tail gate both open and close like a brand new car.
Interior is mint albeit a little dusty. Crack free dash, yes yes y'all.
Body work is needed, full close door respray and engine bay needs detailing.
Old lady/victorian chewed the front and back bars up pretty bad :/
But they left me with a sweet 80's spec seat cover.
Front half of the carpet mould was f*cked lifted it expecting nasties but was pleasantly surprised.
Rust in the spare wheel well has already been attended to.
Fuel flap, with opel hinge.
Hubbies, trim, door handles all in great nick, need polishing.
Gonna replace all the window seals with aftermarket jobs.
Freshen up the engine, with elec ignition, gt40 coil and the thermo fan/switch set up from the tf.
Battery tray is a f*cken mess, needs to be dealt with asap.
Got stuck into today and found a few spots of body filler but no rust, pulled the guards off expecting an ugly sight, but was pleasantly surprised to find a whole lot of dirt but no bad rust.
Slowly gonna get it ready for a respray and try for 2015 gemnats finish date [lol who am i kidding].
SH*T I NEED, FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INDICATOR LENSE POSSIBLY WHOLE FITTING, 1 X HOLDEN CENTRE FOR HUBCAPS.
If i'v over looked anything or wanna contribute please do.
