 thought that would get your attention, Ive decided to give my collection of 80's bmx's a rest for a while and turn my attention back to my beloved puddle jumper... after 4 days knee deep in filler dust its nearly done( 2 more patches to rub down and 1 rear quarter and the roof to prime..

and well Im knackered!!! so im looking for a little feedback/ moral support -so check it out comments gratefully recived (be kind though its got to be flatted and primed yet before paint!!!

Thanks chris its going to be the original blue with all the chrome bumpers etc it should look cool... I want it understated so it doesnt look like much has been done on it (until you put it next to a standard one...)

should have it in paint within a few weeks all being well (IE no more BMX/expensive record purchases)

appreciate the offer but I think Ill give it a miss.. Ill weld the next project but I wont be filling it or painting it!!!! its a killer!!!!!

nice work tho!!!

[stuey]

Well Ive got 3 days off work so Ive decied to get all the welding on the under side finished.   :sad:

I fabricated and the patch panels for the under side today (most this consisted of the bottom of the spare wheel well)  - the hole was about a foot and a half long!!!!

Ill get some before and after pics tommorow and then its ready for the solenoid pops on the door, primer and paint!!!!!!  :cool:

Looking good!  Its great seeing other projects progressing.  I still have not got around to filling my bumper holes either!

[Chris Lakin]

come on guys get it done before it gets too cold!!!  

the thought of painful hands from the cold, brings back memoried from last year!  

[stuey]

ran out of welding gas.. pics coming soon got some today!!!!!!  :cool:

[stuey]

long time no post - during a very quiet night shift at work I spent a good few hours perusing the web for pics of cars to motivate me to get on with the fiat as it only needs 2 bits of welding, painting and putting back together the sh*t lowering out of it!

so I got the metal spitting b4stard I refer as a "welder" after several false starts manged to create a rather ugly weld on the 2 1/2 foot long crack in the front end of the car (the panel flanges where welded under neath+ welds dressed and primed after this shot... deffo more to come but its a start as they say.....really must get him back on the road...
