Vin6409 engine rebuild

[cis6409]

After a bit of washing down

[cis6409]

Found these markings on the drivers side after cleaning all the dust and debris off.. It's from the vari mould s I've been told.
The number denotes which vari body tub mold was used.
Did not know about that before, very interesting

The infill panel on the driver side is damaged not sure how

[cis6409]

On to the rocker panels these will all be replaced but man those sill rockers were welded on! Nearly all of them are seized into the rivnut. Not sure how I gonna get them out without any of them spinning
Welcome to any suggestions, drill them I presume?

[cis6409]

More seized and rusted mutated screws and bolts as I worked my way up to the front facia, spoiler and wings

Getting there

Facia and passenger Wing starting to come away

That’s some serious work there mate, well done for getting stuck in, can’t wait to see the progress

[cis6409]

Cheers

Got a little more done today, but small progress. sprained ankle and back issues made it a bit of a pain to get more done..

Got to clean up the front end a bit more and make it a little more respectable at least..

2 more of the impact absorber bolts retapped, 2 more to go

Wing rivets all need replacing or thread cleaning m5x 0.8 thread
