so first things first we got her up nice and high do drop the engine and subframe out from underneath. We have no fancy lifts or anything like that so had to use any means possible but it seemed to be nice and sturdy and worked well. The pics really speak for themselves. After one weekend we had the car stripped to a bare shell. also the engine had been degreased and cleaned so we go about painting it when the time comes. I thought it was funny that the engine was yellow. I have also seen green and red mini engines, can someone tell me why certain models had different colour engines and a bit of info about that maybe. we are not sure what colour to do the engine either, the car will be metallic blue and of course the subframes will be painted black. The only rust we found was behind the dash which is also visible from under passo side wing. it is rotten through and will need a new piece welded in. but so far no more rust to report
anyway enough chat i will let the pics do the talking and try and keep this thread updated as much as possible. all thoughts/opinions/advice welcome and appreciated. p.s pics are a bit muddled and not in order sorry about that.
