Well we have started on the re-shell today.
first off was to get the rollcage out of the old body shell, off came the roof. 3 hours later we managed to remove the cage in 4 pieces. This post has been edited by TRD ke70: Jul 5 2010, 12:16 AM -------------------- |

today we stripped the rollcage back to bare metal(weight reduction) cleaned up all the old foot plates, done a little seam welding around where the foot plates are going in the new body shell.
Tony got a lot of the body deadening off the floor and cleaned up some of the seams for welding. pretty happy how things are going considering it's only day 2. should have the rollcage into the new shell tomorrow and mostly welded in. hope to have more photos tomorrow. -------------------- |

not yet but will take some tomorrow, doesn't look anything special yet, and there's some rust to fix, mostly in the back end.

the new shell, if you can call it that.
Body deadening removed from the inside, a little seam welding was done around where the rollcage feet sit, already for the cage to go in tomorrow. Cage has had all the old paint stripped off it and etched primed. This post has been edited by TRD ke70: Sep 19 2009, 11:21 PM -------------------- |

well the rollcage went in today, that was fun.
all the foot plates were welded, then the cage went in, in 2 pieces and welded together and then welded to the foot plates. Tomorrow we'll tag the cage to the shell and then fit up the bars that go from the towers to the front legs. If you're wondering what the white stuff is, it's sikaflex to stop and moisture or dirt getting under the foot plates. we use to clean the inside out with a hose!!!

things have slowed down a little, but we have 99% of the rollcage now welded in.
the bars from the front legs to the strut towers, the relocation of the wiper motor and the strut brace were all finished off today. Rust repairs will start tomorrow,which we think will take a little time to complete, then it's roll the shell over and fully seam weld the body.

thought i'd update this as it has been a while.
Seam welding is almost done. Once we finished welding the underside, it will be painted and put back on to axle stands so we can start on the body work. The engine side of things is also moving along nicely with parts, including fordged pistons, trd cams, and trd flywheel.
