its a perverse 80's thing........ (update- completed in time for Inters!)

Just saw one like for sale on ebay



eBay Link

 

wow glad to see your back on track with this, be nice to see it finished and back on the road.

keep the updates coming

 

Did you find the easiest way to repair the sill rust was to bung new ones on rather than plate it up? I discovered a hole in my rear driver side last night where the door rubber splits.

Cheers

Will

 

Nice to see this making progress - Nuff respec' for pushing on in the face of all that rot and damage

 

Great work, will be good to see it finished!

 

ive seen that Ebay one for sale for the last few months. I think it was only recently sold, but i might be wrong
My sills were really shot and more like a cheese grater. I bet you could get the small hole plated up.
It does feel good to see some progress and i cant wait to see it on saturday as im dropping some more parts off

 

I love this keep it up, things are sent to try us!!!!

 

Found this over the weekend, been in a garage with a leaking roof and not driven for ten years !!
Changed the fuel pump, drop of petrol and it started up. No panel damage anywhere chassis and sills sound no rust ! the paintwork was a funny green shade of white but cleaned up ok Factory fitted leather ? Full Zender body kit with flaking paint to spoiler smoked rear panel and lights with 'Treser' logo ( 80's aftermarket tuning company ) Quick shift gear linkage, some engine work carried out by Treser not exactly shaw what spec, needs investigation have folder of receipts etc a very 80's genuine car,not sure if I like it or not

 

if youre thinking of selling give me shout!
im interested
thanks

 

i like it to much white need a black grill to match the rear lights

 

Interesing find there fella. Why dont you enjoy it for a bit and then sell it if you still find its not quite your thing.

Miami Vice not Rice

BTW Treser was more known for their Audi parts

one thing I will say is this sort cars are always white

yes there are. Got some pics to add as soon as i get a mo. Ive nearly bought some replacement shocks. The engine is out so the bay gets tidyied too. Ive also bought another italvolanti steering wheel for use when i have the zender lights fitted too. I wondered long and hard many many many times about why i started this, then remembered that im a bit of a nob and do things like this all the time. Pics coming later this week

 

heres a few pics albeit of 3+ weeks ago

The other sill has been prepped now and theres a rear panel back on it too!
Yay!!









found a bit more fire damage- but its no biggie

tinted lights anyone??



a bit more prep work done but the bumper still needs a mend when its in situ











heres some pics of the trim im also looking for (still need those clips too)







and finally, the engine on its way out to tidy the bay up too

Collecting them next week before I go and look at progress
