My little 90

Started a rebuild on my little 90, so I thought I'd share some pictures.. here it is when I bought it in 2010, while working in the Falkland Islands..

then arriving home..

used for a few years

part of the collection

strip down starts

yuk.. but not bad for 30 years.. had a rear xmember when I first bought it home

chassis blasted, primed, 1st coat of Raptor, and new bits fitted


Engine and gearbox back in (disco transfer box fitted) and a bit of a trial fit of body

bulkhead , Inner wings, body cappings remade, bonnet slam panel etc all blasted and sent to galvanize...
and that's where we are at the moment...
more picture to follow as we get nearer the end

What an odd but rather familiar original number plate

Wow, a reply from a place more remote than the Falklands : ) : )

Looking really good in that Raptor stuff - good to see its not a one life special edition

Thanks.. got loads more to spray on it as we go on...Anything that cant be seen will be covered in Vactan and Raptor.. Anything that can be seen should be galvanized and covered in zinc primer before painting..should outlast me anyway ..f***ing rebuild will probably outlast me

In what way familiar?? if you don't mind me asking??

Not your plate, but been to Falklands more times than soft Mick.

Bulkhead, cappings, inner wings, loads of brackets back from galvanizers... we have progress... wiring loom being repaired.. new fuel tank arrived...wheels and tyres off Ebay.. rebuild is go!!!!!
