Finally made a start.........on the F50
« on: June 03, 2011, 05:23:20 PM »
Meant to go over a couple of weeks ago to make a start but didnt,anyway as it was such a nice day and my sister was home so went over and made a start on the F50.Removed the Saab seats and tried in some Vectra ones i got for a tenner,and found them better so i can now get in an sit without the steering wheel pressing into my groin.Just need to bolt the seats in as didnt take a drill to make new holes for fixing the seat runners.I made a start grinding down the rough bits,removed the knackered fender flares(looking for some replacements if anyone has any old ones knoking about :icon_winkle:) I have cut back the wheel arches to remove the uneveness and its made a lot of difference.Only had 1 disc though and so had to stop and now ordered some more with the hope to continue next week.Didnt have a camera with me but when i pop over next week i will get some pics taken.Got a few ideas of what i would like to do,but it will also be a bit of trial and error

Pics as promised
[attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3][attachment=4]

Need to get some filler now just to smooth off where i grind down the welds,and awaiting some more cutting and grinding discs so i can continue.The black is just some hammerite i sprayed on just to keep the rust out of the metal

Well another few hours,in between the showers,of tinkering.Managed to fit the flares (Thanks Tragic) and removed the screen to grind down the rough spots,and some more general grinding/prepping.Just awaiting my body filler to arrive so i can even out some of the edges,then a full flat down ready for painting  :icon_winkle:
