Red Rallye resto

[Ben_w]

Been a while since i updated this.

To be honest, it's been a long time since i did anything on the Rallye. Life being life, time being the slippery bugger it is etc it's just sat on the drive, waiting for me. The intention is there though.

It got a bloody good wash today. Looking at it, i was pretty disgusted with it. Filthy, lot of green mould etc. The paint has faded even more on the roof, top of the passenger side door and it looks more mismatched from a paint point of view than ever. No big deal, it was always going to be painted.

Pics are rubbish but you get the idea.







Got another expensive month coming up but have a barrel load of overtime on this payslip. Few things to pay out for but then I'm hoping there will be enough left to kick start this project again and get the front end blasted and 2k primed.

The bigger issue comes with the engine and gearbox. My friend with the garage unit closed his business at Christmas. Bit of a dispute with his landlord and is locked out at the mo. My engine, gearbox and a seat are still inside. Not a realm issue to solve as i can buy another engine and box but I'd rather not. I'm planning on using funds from the sale of the Insignia to really get this project going again.
