the anglias getting me down abit lately for some reason. when ever i go to work on it it just dosnt seem worth it, couldnt find any good doors so im trying to salvage the rotten ones (bet they will look rubbish) it just dosnt seem to be getting anywhere. i reckon once i get her all back down to bare metal it will seem like its getting somewhere. i think it dosnt help that im so fussy, i wanna get all the rust out of every single little nook and cranny. but i cant afford to get it dipped :(

just spent £1400 getting suspension made and people are telling me its no good.

 

oh well I KNOW IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!! when its on the road.

i had plenty of these "periods" when doing the cortina mate , sometimes lasting weeks at a time,trying to make good of what youve got because you cant afford the newest bestest shiney bits, and i know now my cortina may not be the best example about but fook it its mine and in the words of Mr Sinatra- i did it my way :ykt: the satisfaction when its on the road is well worth all the bad times through the project, you'll soon forget them once its running, i'm like this :D:mrgreen::D at the minute cos i've just come in from a late night blast round derbyshire

yer i know i think thats mostly it. im getting too impatient coz i just wanna drive it, but i dont want too rush it and make it look crap haha. cant win.

 

i know it will be worth it.

once iv got all the rust out i think ill feel alot better about it.

but at the minute "she makes me feel like its raining outside" :)

 

yer im getting dad to help me with the doors. you should of seen my old ones haha someone had like sledge hammerd the middle in where the hole is then fibreglassed over it and put about 1/2" thick of filler over it. so i managed to get some more doors there just as rottern as the old ones (but there where free) and we're cuting the rust out and butt welding some patches in, ones gone abit warped coz the whole is dead in the middle of the skin. but if they dobnt look perfect once painted i can always buy some mint ones later on when iv got the money i spose. :)
