The Camaro Club (UK)

i think i may call it that after the white primer paint job i gave it

this easter i had three weeks free to work on th car to get it mot'ed and start to sort out the shit paint it had

before critism you have to understand the extremely tight budget i was on

so first mot it failed on -

headlight adjustment
handbrake
seatbelt fluff (which was rediculus)
wipers
subframe bent
rot
rot
rot


the car was rotted both sills from front wheel arch to the middle
the right side was top and bottom of the sill
both rear wheel arches
the drivers floor
and two holes in both rear quarters







heres the subframe, looks like someone has tryed to jack it up by it


so after a quick lesson on how to weld, i done it all 9 holes
the rest of the stuff was minor
so at 10-days free retest time it is was done!

now for the paint
some p### had painted the car from half way up and covered it by using some gash graphics
when i bought the car the paint didnt look to bad, but after a few days it came out in mumps
i was like little spots and if you popped them a beed of oil came out

here is pic of te shit graphics



here is what it looked like after abit of sanding





after more sanding we painted it, in white primer


i have a better pic ill post up later
i still have the lips to do

but now i dont know wheher to put the stripes back on
heres a pic with and without

looks good in primer think ide leave it like that, that was some major welding, glad u got it sorted, ive been lucky on this car my last one was a rot box

looking much better dude!

how much is it costing to sort box? i get mine back at weekend so ill find out i spose, looks like we'll have to meet up when our cars have gearboxes

my car has gearbox and is running

next problem we have faced, the fan gets cought on its housing and over heated the fan motor, then next run the fan didnt kick in at all

Definitely get the fan fixed. Heat is an engine killer!!! I wish I had your welding skills. My rust is all lurking waiting to be properly treated. For now I'm concentrating on what I can do myself.....I'm dreading when I 'll have to tear it apart to fix the rot!!!!
