Restoration of 1983 Ford Es**rt RS1600i

Part 2:
Someone might think… Why would you cut out and scrap perfectly good mostly rust free wings?
Well… This is why… 🤦‍♂️

What I think if anyone want to know? Why the hell would someone weld on new wings and do not address rest of the issues… Some “luxury” welding repairs found there hiding under the filler as well. 👌

Restoration of 1983 Ford Es**rt RS1600i

Part 1:
I started this job few weeks back for local customer, the vehicle require a lot of attention (certainly much more than initially thought by both me and customer), front part of the sills and sections of the floors are badly rusted, vehicle need full strip down and excessive amount of self adhesive sound dampening material had to me scraped of the floor panels revealing more and more work.
For its age still in great shape but poorly restored by previous owners make this job a bit more challenging.

Both front wings being replaced for new ones as well and vehicle will go for full respray once I’ve done all required welding and underbody treatment, but thats a bit far away just yet. 🤦‍♂️
Stay tunned… 🙃

Fab looking 2007 Skoda Fabia VRS TDi with crushed front jacking points and severe rust damage in both outer and inner sills.

This lovely small hot hatch with almost 260k on its clock deserved some well needed attention…
Customer approached me with request to sort out the inner sills as they failed annual MOT test on “few holes”. After proper strip down and some cutting it became very quickly obvious its not only few small holes.
Both front jacking points were rusted and crushed in, outer sill (replaced 4 years ago) started to show rust damage at the bottom part near the lip.
Sills and parts of the floors needed all replacing and rebuilt, 2mm sheet metal been used to recreate the jacking points and base of the bottom lip.
1.2 mm then used for inner sills and parts of the floors and finaly zinc coated 1mm to fix up the outer sills.

Vehicle needed few other areas addressed and required new D/S wing.

One of the long overdue jobs ticked off the jobs list today. An easy access ramp ♿️ fabricated and welded at the entrance to Unit 1 on our yard in Ballynure.

I had few quite low sports cars in my workshop recently for some welding work and the step a in to the garage started to be a bit of pain, always was but when you work on many Land Rovers and 4x4s you tend to overlook these things.
Using planks of wood to get 3000GT or Fiesta ST just to get the car inside the garage isnt ideal especially when customers looking. Doesn’t look very professional tbh.
I planned to do this for quite some time and I am glad is finally done.

This will make ny life soo much easier.

My son Martin helped out today lifting heavy 6mm checkered plates and holding them on the position while auld man had to do a yoga. 🧘💪

Going to be tested for couple of weeks and the probably painted green to match the garage. 🙂

Hi folks, a good friend of mine is in a bit of a pickle, and I'm trying to help him.
We are after a 5 Speed GM automatic gearbox for a 2004 Range Rover L322 TD6 (BMW M57 engine)
Preferably the lowest mileage as possible, or already one which was rebuilt (I know it's like chasing a unicorn 🦄)
Any pointers or contacts would be highly appreciated.

Another day another Landy fixed.

Relatively easy job this one…
2009 Puma in for a new in-tank fuel sender. The Land Rover had been stored for quite some time due to the owner's health issues, and when it was brought back to active duty, the fuel gauge was reading empty even though the fuel tank was full.

Fuses and relays checked, fault code reader indicated to sender unit.
After a quick conversation with Gerry who own this lovely “jeep” we agreed to cut inspection hole in to the floor for easy access for any other future jobs.

Seriously why Land Rover never thought about this is beyond my understanding. Many other models had them. 🤔

Wish every job was so simple. 😃

A 2004 Land Rover Discovery2 rolled into the shop with the fuel tank halfway hanging out of the chassis.
Originaly booked in only for fuel tank crossmember replacement, but after proper strip and clean down rear legs of the chassis need well needed attention and some new steel as well.

2mm plate was used to beef up the chassis legs, new bump stop bracket been fabricated, crossmember supplied by customer sloted in to the place like a glow. 👌

All treated with brunox epoxy primer, painted black and treated with Alphalan. Finaly new HD tank guard and tow bar fitted.

Another Landy saved. 💪
