So check this out. The bucket failed mot on fri, found a hole...10mins with a knot and found the hole had been previously repaired with a sheet of aluminium and riveted in. What a joke repair.

Just got the calibra back from the paintshop, very happy with the results. Just the sides done but very happy.

It has some wheel arch welding to be done as it won't pass mot like it is, so I have repair panels ready to go salvaged from an old DTM.
Then I have a long list of jobs to do to get it how I want her but important things first.

Its undergoing a bit of rolling resto with emphasis on making it go stop, go and handle as well as possible while keeping it a stock looking

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
The cars looking good pal, I haven't been on for a while. I feel your pain with the rust as I'm currently working from the back of the car to the front. I hav rust holes in all the usual places and some I know i haven't found yet..

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
So long due update. MOT did not go well as you can see the drivers side jacking point support is toast.
Exhaust leak and rear break imbalance.
This is beyond my little mig welder and it is booked in with the garage for 3hrs work to sort the mess you see.
I'm gutted, close to getting rid, but I am going to fight for the bucket, so I am planning to have this fixed then every other month she will go into the garage to get the floor looked at and all the holes with rubber bungs in removed and anything else sorted, like my dodgy repairs.
Just need to find a repair panel now.

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
You can still get them bud, I got a pair from leidinger tuning in Germany. Google them and message them from their website. It didn't take long to get them

How much did you pay?

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
I can't remember bud, it was about 30 to 40ish euros each and there was the postage from Germany as well. I'm just learning to weld and I couldn't make a panel that complicated so I was happy to pay that if it means all I need to do is plug or seam weld them on when I get to that. My car has all the known rotten spots.

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
Yeah mine too, garage is going to make the repair for me this time, too much for me thus time. Got other areas I can butcher later.
