Hi mate,

It's Called show us yours!

Maybe one of the mods can move this for you

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

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Thanks mate...Yes please...mods if you can move this to the project section that Would be fantastic

Moved it for you. You can edit the title now if you wish to point out that its your build thread

I seriously doubt it!

Has anyone Made their own complete rear half inner wings guys Mine are rotten and i fancy making instead of buying even if i need to Alter the shape on them slightly So their more angular than curved cheers guys Amy Links to someone thats done heavy bulkhead ans inner wing refabrication

What ggauge steel are you guys using for your repair sections my Top dash panel i used 1.6 mm i have plenty of this and want to go a Bit thicker than the Standard british leyland steel from the factory but Not By to much

Edited by stumpypower75 on 26th Aug, 2014.

I made my own, but no pics, it was 15 years ago. You only need .9mm. Its the shape that gives strength, not gauge

I seriously doubt it!

ok cool Ive got 1.2 mm so will use that with done swage lines in it

Yea me to lol.....
Ime Kind of haken with the idea of building my own bulkhead and Floor around a bg engine Amy ideas guys

Front or rear wheel drive Been thinking along the 1.8k series route but Also like the rwd ....how i build the body from here is dictated to some extent By the engine choice 2.9 24valve ford Also sounds. good
