Thread revival !! 3g restoration back on track

[merce]

I am sure there are or will be times when you think what's the point. 99% of people would have given up by now.
Whatever happens, don't be put off and carry on, you are doing a solid job.

Mo Farrah of welding!

[walsh123]

Oh there are certainly times when i think that

I wont give up, i cant give up now come too far, i still cant find any rear arches though nearly got them sorted but the guy messed ad thought i wanted 84 civic MK2 rear wheel arches So at abit of a loss with that one, as do i just keep on welding and hope to find some or just go for it with wide arches Also really need some front wings aswell but cars2z stopped doing them



I dunno about that but thanks

[CivicsUnite]

nice car bro. would be nice to see updates on the build as u go on with it.
cheers

[walsh123]

Thanks man

Yeah major lack of updates at the minute have been busy with the 4g's recently

[CivicsUnite]

oh i see.. i saw thru the whole thing twice. and its soo much fun you re having there. wish i had the skill that u have. my 3g and my 4g needs all done to it aswell. my 3g has a terrible rust on the rear floor panel. and i dont know what im going to do.. hmm

[walsh123]

I dunno about fun But its good experience.

No need to wish man, just grab yourself a welder and start practicing, takes a while to get the hang of it but a great skill to have pays for its self ten fold when you old cars like ours

Yeah thats pretty common LIke i say grab yourself a welder and have at it dude, gotta think of it this way you can't really make it any worse if its rusted through and wont pass an MOT.

If not im sure you could get it welded up fairly easily, by a garage or just someone local who can weld

[CivicsUnite]

yup. i really need to have a go at it. needed to ask a you a few questions though. what sheet metal are u using? and where could i get them? sorry im very new at this man

im abel by the way. all the way from malaysia
cheers

[walsh123]

Just mild steel buddy, im not sure what guage etc though im afraid. AS for the metal we get it froim parts suppliers for cars for example andrew pages. But In malaysia i wouldnt even know where to start

Im Ethan dude but people mainly call me Eth, any more Q's just ask

[CivicsUnite]

[walsh123]

All depends on what parts your after bud ?

There are quite a few guys on here that sell alot of parts and a few traders aswell. Just post up an add in the wanted section im sure people will pm you if they have what your after

[CivicsUnite]

i just want a 3g dashmat for my sweet civic at the moment .. if u have a lead please do let me know walsh sir

[CivicsUnite]

any updates on your car? would love to see it

[walsh123]

i just want a 3g dashmat for my sweet civic at the moment .. if u have a lead please do let me know walsh sir

pm'd you dude

NAh no updates sadly its just been sat in the corner of the garage as we've been busy with other things.

The fate of it isnt looking very promising at the minute my boss is thinking of just cutting his losses and selling up

So there may well be a 3g GT full conversion up for sale soon

Either that or a full GT shell all welded and all the parts.

As is he would want £300

Welded £400

I dont think he should sell it but he needs cash for more things for the garage

[dazec8]

noo so much work gone into this thats a shame

[walsh123]

Aye definitely a shame id like to see it through but, i certainly don't wanna buy it back from him I haven't got enough spare time for it. But like i say if someone would want it all welded thats not a problem would just be a case of huge meccano set
