Ooo you big tart! looks good though.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

You should do that cad stuff for a living

You are a flash sod chris, I wish i knew how to do all that cad stuff. it's probably good that i don't as i would start again and it would cost me more cash. lol

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Fuck me, I looked at this yesterday and thought it was just a picture of a racetech pod. Didn't cop that you done it in CAD. Insane!

thanks guys, this is just a result of many wasted hours in front of the computer. im completely self taught, does help i do it day in day out. just download a program and have a play.

As per usual ive been taking my time.
ive begun the front subframe lightening process or as i like to call it hole saw attack. im not going to crazy on it, but every little helps.
ive repaired a few little hole on the body, but still havent tackled the sills, shortage of funds.
i did however pick up some builders trestles of the bay for £11 which have made great chassis stands and will be adapted to make a body spit.

loving the cad drawing looks great wish i was that good, studying 2d myself atm, keep up the good work. :)

hey george, thanks i studied it a uni but most of it is self taught, just download some software and spend several hours just drawing stuff you get the hang of it.

tell me about it im using solid edge at work and solidworks at home, the new interface is wank. i learnt autocad at college, cant understand why its still being taught when there are loads of great 3D packages cheap with very good drafting add-ons

its hit or miss really, if you use the software everyday you get pretty good. i dont have any qualifications in CAD just practice.

Any progress Chris??

I'm just doing a similar job to my front floors, hopefully I can get it as neat as yours...

progress has been slow Andy, basically had to do exactly the same to the passenger side as i did to the drivers side, so inner and outer sill, rear floor to first groove and passengers foot well.
All the rot has been removed and panels ready to weld in. need to find some spare time to get it sorted.

Howdie all, before the weekend hadnt touched he car for a few weeks so i thought id crack on with it.
Ive rebuilt the passenger side subframe mount/heal board corner, the cross membere needed a small bit of patching, the wheel arch/bench bit. inner sill to first grove and patch the odd whole.
still loads to do but i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, should have the passenger foot well and outer sill on by the end of the week. then just the boot floor and ready for a respray.

Nice gussets

did you make those gussets where the door bins use to be or buy them?

Cheers Rob, yeah i whipped them up at work. didnt have a flare tool, but found a tapered steel spacer and a bit of tube worked a treat.

no go on the floor matty, was too hung over from your deadly 2 pack ring of fire lol.

1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER

As per usual progress has been snail pace. The passenger side is pretty much done, just got to wack the sill on. until i get the sill ive move on to the boot.
I got a bit carried away with the angle grinder and next thing i realised the boot floor had gone lol



Worlds lightest boot floor !!!!!



Im not sure yet what im going to do, either skin the hole over with a single sheet following the contours of the floor (as above), make a fiberglass floor with a slight recess or a curley one.



There is still loads of surface rust that needs cleaning up and the valance corner supports need removing, but getting the slowly.
