Tinkering with my Vogue

Breaking thread for the donor, let me know if anybody wants any bits.

I'll have the fuel out of it stu

And how much for the diffs plz ?

Ok, I will drain the tank into a drum for you

Was looking for £100 per axle complete, if you want the diffs I will strip them, £50 each ok?

Welding, welding, welding

Finally got the wolf set up and working properly

Finished the arch, well the front anyway. Just got to cut the rear arch and wheel well section out of the donor.









Connected a battery to the donor and got the key to work, this was the result

Thought this was for your other classic...you gonna combine the two rebuilds into one thread or strip the '88 and rebuild into the original??

The 88 is parts, breaking thread on hear. It's way passed rebuild, would need full set of seats and more welding than the 84. Shame, it's on really low miles with a good speck.

ah well,


looks like yer need some argoshield stu

Back on the welding before I go away.

Picked up the flebay purchase of a fiberglass headlining. Fooking thing wouldn't fit in my stupid car so had to hatchet strap it to the roof then climb through the window. To embarrassed to take a picture of it on the roof.





Looks good though.

Set my mig up to gas as well, so much better than gasless. I am nearly happy with the welding now

Welded in the ns footwell





Nearly finished that side, only got the wheel well to cut out of the donor and weld in



Then to start on the other side





But after I come back from holiday

I'm back, saw a lot of jacked up V8 pickups on my hols. Some looked good while others looked.....

Can't believe how long its taking me to do the patching work, little bits of steel cut, shon welded then on to the next bit.

Finished a few bits off today and started to do the bottom of the A pillar.





Hoping to get this side finished and get a good start on the other side this weekend. Look forward to doing some flat horizontal welding

Finished the A pillar, but forgot to take a pic :frusty:

As that side is finished apart from the wheel well which will be cut out of the donor. I attacked the drivers side with a 7" grinder:mil52::bounce:







The previous owner decided to repair the arch with filler, not helpful



Body mounts not looking good on this side.





Was hoping not to have to replace the rear mount but it's not looking good



Going to leave the footwell until the body mounts are back on to try and keep the shell as straight as possible.



Moor on sunday

brave man, big respect.
