My first ever attempt at a light restoration

[blaze_the_6]

Well peeps, bit of an update.

Been fighting with the front wings trying to get them off and I have to say, 306 front wings are the hardest wings I have ever had to remove from a car so far. That task got stopped short when I realised that the side skirts had to come off also.

I removed the ABS pump which turned out to be a pain in the arse also.

Aluminium and steel is highly fraustrating, so I had to resort to using vice grips to get the union bolts off the pump. While removing the pump, I discovered a bit of a disaster before poking it:

This extra rust hole has made me decide to bite the bullet, and hunt for a MIG welder. The cost of getting all the welding done would be ridiculous, so it looks like im going to have to learn a new skill

Next job will be to remove the all the air con pipework. all the bolt heads are virtually rusted away so its going to be another pain in the ass.

Im finding these little jobs harder than taking the engine and box out just because of rust....
