Yeah, those wheels are in a shameful state 😂, was going to fix them after the polishing, so now not sure if I should do them now or after re-spraying the car.

Hi, yeah, it is hard to see, but all the carbs have a nipple behind them, they are covered by little rubber boots

Hi! I actually didn't, as my plastic strips were all broken. as long as you rust proof everything with underseal (because there will be uncovered holes where the strip clips) you should be fine. I am going to put sideskirts anyway, so i would need to remove them for that as well. Hope this helps

Thank you 👍

@ 👍

Thanks, will do!

That's great to hear, glad I could help 👍

Thank you, I agree, it's such an iconic car that always deserve a second chance

My next video is 100% that 😂😂😂, but i went for the 36mm instead. Great mind's think alike 👍

Wow! You really binged on it 😊 Thank you for the support

Stick around throughout the series to see how it turned out 👍

@@DIYWorkshop_UK definitely planned on catching up 💪🏻

Thank you very much

I have to agree, it does require a lot of babysitting. I think i will eventually get a media blasting unit, but currently, have no space for it, so this was the best I could do.

Yeah, this one is fighting me with all it has, but hopefully the end is in sight 😊 thanks for watching

Thank you for watching 😁

It just got a brand new motor, and it is all about the challenge, stick around to see if it was worth it in the end 😉

@@DIYWorkshop_UK I know it's not worth it. You could have put the motor into a clean body and did something better with your time. I understand if these are rare or old cars that are hard to find, but these things are all over

Time you enjoy spending is never time wasted, I am learning new skills while doing this and it is actually cheaper than buying a new shell, you are right in one point though, if I could have gotten a cheaper shell, I would have most likely done that, but here in the UK a body with no rust is way more expensive and hard to find

Thanks, that is something I am not looking forward to, having to wet sand and polish it 😅

Thank you for the support 😊. Funny, all this was new to me as well, never welded or painted before, but you go to start somewhere right?

@@DIYWorkshop_UK Yeah right! I'm working on to own a house with garage and car mechanic stuffs.. And after that I ll start learning as much as I can :))

Hi, i gor it of Ebay, these are manufactured in Poland. It only cost £125 for the pair, so it was a good deal

Bought the same ones they are doing a great job

Already done the other side in a previous video, this was one of those "why didn't I think of that " kinda moments 😅😅

Thank you for the kind words 👍 That suggestion is actually a great idea! It didn't even cross my mind and I will definitely do that in my future videos, in the meantime, I'll amend the description of my current ones with a warning.

Thanks man, really appreciate it 👍

Hi, you are right, my problem was when cutting, the body lines made it very difficult to align to get a more precise cut. This was mainly because I was putting the new sill over the old one when measuring. I ended up cutting a bit more solely by sheer dumbness 😅. hence the filler strip. Good luck with your project 👍

Thank you 👍

I got it from Ebay, they are manufactured in Poland I believe

Thanks man, I am aiming of having this car outlive me 😅. But your works is really good as well.

Thanks!! And good luck on your project, hope it all goes well

Not sure if it is up to professional standards 😅 but thank you for the kind words 😄

@@DIYWorkshop_UK looks legit to me. Would depend on your pricing. Plenty of garages out there who can do it, but for the value of a couple of cars so not viable

Yeah, i got quoted £1000 per side, which is more than I paid for the car 😅

@@DIYWorkshop_UK 🤯

Good luck man! I still have one other side to do 😁

Thanks! I had the engine rebuilt already, right before I found out about the rust, so i now have a engine with 100 miles on it in a rusted car 😅

@@DIYWorkshop_UK same for me hahahahaha. I Hope ur work will be fast and easy

Hi, definitely, i will post the next video on Saturday. Thank you for watching

Think I contact you before about my RX8

Hi, i think the most difficult part was the corner piece at the rear, as it is hard to reach with the welder. Also, in a future video you will see the process of cleaning the rust under the car. It was hard for me because I have no lift, so i had limited space to work. Thank you for watching

Thanks man! I 've seen your work as well, you're doing great too 👍
