The Daily Hack

[darrenjlobb]

Right then,

As you know ive taken the bus off the road again for a while, for a change of engine, as getting a bit bord of the xud letting me down , I think without more investment, its really at its edge of reliability now, maybe one day ill return just to get some figures....

Anyway decided I needed another car to drive for the moment, as dropping a stock motor in my car, means I dont have it to work on, which means I cant get anything done....

So decided to revive a car that was literally in the yard in the scrap pile....my old sigma DT...that got wrecked by previous owner etcetc, and is now a bare shell with no interior / engine and lots of dents blah blah blah...

Plan is to build a totally stock D turbo, full interior (got a donor car with mint ph1 interior)....But bodywork is screwed, so thought, as I couldnt make it any worse, id have a god at fixing all the dents, and re painting it....

So got the car stripped down the other night, removed all the glass / locks blah blah, and started sanding / filling etc, takes time, but slowly working around the car, got 2 huge dents on the back, and a nasty crease in the rear quarter....

This is a first for me, I cant stand bodywork, so im sure im doing it all wrong etcetc, but doing it mainly just to have a go..

Some photos of the fail in process!








Hoping to mask / paper it up in the next few days, finish sanding it down, and prime up all the bare bits etc.
