ahh yes! finally started work on that eyesore thats been in the corner of my unit for about a month. crap description off seller coupled with me buying it in the dark didn't help matters! scotty's face was a picture when we rolled it into the light of the unit!!! "you'll always get your money back kid on ebay?" anyway since arranging to pick the caddy up and getting fucked about a bit i started to browse the forums for some ideas of what to do to it! (hadn't even picked the fucker up yet let alone seen it in the flesh!) so had all these big ideas and then saw it in the light! fuck it stick it in the corner and i'll do some research on what you can/can't get parts and panel wise......................that was about a month ago!
so today i decide to strip the beast to see if there was owt else that was rotten or dented that i didn't know about yet! pictures........... on a good note it came with a lot of spares! some good some fit for the bin! so spent an age getting the bastard cunty fucking bumper things off the back! then as it was in the air i thought i'd drop the tank exhaust and spare wheel carrier and have a poke around underneath and to be fair theres not much to do under there! a little bit infront of the nsr wheel and thats it! the mud and crap has added a layer of extra protection! so once i was done underneath i dropped her back on the floor and took off anything i could! and so gained a little pile! followed shortly by the engine vacating it spot! i spent about 45mins less taking the engine out than it did to get the bumper things off i kid you not! now seller told me it was over heating and it was chucking out water but it wasn't because it was hot? it was because some dickhead glued the sender in the expansion bottle and it had split! anyway a good clean and degrease and its going back in! hopefully with a 5 speed box oh and a new cable as this one is frayed at the top! pulled screen only to find a little surface rust so chuffed with that! pulled rear screen and only found one hole! and the bed is starting to fill up with crap too! only big stuff tho as anything small drops through the holes!! so now theres nowt else i can take off it just a rolling shell until i can sort out my bent panels...... for the dents which the bad ones are down the nearside so some numpty couldn't drive! i'm gunna cut the panels out - straighten em out - and weld em back in! fingers crossed on that one! the front is guna get cut and remade as its bent the cross member and the inner wing a little and the sill is guna get the same treatment too cut-straight-weld! then i have a few little rust spots to sort then its tidy time! i'm not after a show truck just summat that looks half respectable that i can still throw my crap in without worrying about damaging the bed (which will be done last!) |
