205 - born again (still running)

[Doseph]

So my friend text me a picture of this car he spotted on his travels
   

little did i know 2 weeks later I would be picking it up that virtually rust free, but kind of green shell
   

the plan is to rebuild, swap everything over and in the process make it better, stronger faster. We have the technology.
   

I took both engines out on the subframe so i ididnt have to mess around with the different tu and xu subframes. 
forklifts are better than engine cranes (this looks less stable than it was) 
   

next i striped the bay ready for painting 
   

then cleaned and wire brushed it. i covered everything in tin foil which is way easier than dicking around with tape and paper
   

I used some zinc rich primer on the worst btis for dat extra rust protection then 2 cans of can white stone chip which turned out not to quite be enough to cover the whole bay
   

wrapped up and tucked away from nasty lorries and dust in between coats
   

more to come soon
