i know wings are very rare but its one part i cant do without unfortunately, ive managed to rebuild the rears but i dont think thats an option with the osf because it is too far gone and take faar to much time... i know that to some extent they can be unbolted so what is my best option? http://i207....

thanks for the tip, preperation will probably take me a while as its already been painted with a brush, so sanding it smooth will probably take longer than it should. i will probably buy a random action sander, will that be any good?

also i could do with an O/S roll bar pillar.
thankyou

hi, finishing off my arches finaly, hopefully move on to painting soon. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb263/mk1joe/suzuki/SAM_0610.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb263/mk1joe/suzuki/SAM_0609.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb263/mk1joe/suzuki/SAM_0639.jpg ive seen a few good pain...

my learning curve is turning into a mega mission, (for me anyway). i ran out of gass for the welder so tried gasless but i didnt get on with it, i dont know how anyone else finds it for automotive work? im finding welding in genral very tricky. finished patching most of the side pannel and ground it...

hello again scuk, ive been trying to soldier on with the welding, but i was just wondering (as i do) about the flange that was in the wheel arch, it stuck down at a 45o angle, as far as i can see all it did was collect mud and rust away but maby it had a reason for being there? is it importiant that...

i did my first bit of welding today, i knocked up a repair pannel and just tacked it in for now, the some of the tack welds came out really well but the welder was on a very high setting,it actualy blew a fuse in the house but when on a lower setting the welds didnt come out as well. the pannel i ma...

the best thing about the green one is the number plate, cant remember why though. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb263/mk1joe/suzuki/PICT1745.jpg heres a suzuki siera i saw on holiday in turkey, http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb263/mk1joe/suzuki/IMGP0004.jpg heres a samurai i saw on the way ...

thanks for the welding tips, thats just the sort of information im looking for. i do want to keep it semi standard so i guess the best way to make a replacement panel is to weld in lots of smaller peices to make it bend round easy, i cant really think of any other way of doing it.
thanks

made merry with the grinder today, ended up cutting away more then i thought though. i started cutting away the rear lower quater pannel and then it extended to the wheel arch, i was going to put a strip of fibreglass tape inside but now it seems more apropriate to weld new metal on there as it is q...

Just a little tip as you have had the head to bits. The little screws that hold the rockers on love to come undone on there own and fall into the valves. If you use a pin punch and drift it in the side of the screw when you have done them up they won't come undone on there own. ;) thanks for a grea...
