Are you going to dunk the chassis into £10,000 worth of Evaporust as well?

I did watch that video last week. https://youtu.be/mwxwABnAsRU?si=LD-6zl839oor1_qk
I can afford the paddling pool but not the evaporust.

Yesterday was raptor day. It makes one hell of a mess and so I trailered it to my pals unit to save my garage
we grabbed the wire brushes, threw them on the grinders and set to work. Then out came the paint gun.
Tomorrow I’ll go back to his unit, with this little lot onboard and trailer it to the paint shop
Work commences on the running gear next week.

Seeing the replaced inner wings reminded me of the rot box RRC I had. It was an offroad trialer, bobtailed and jacked up with locking diffs etc. but the body was seriously rotten.
I was traversing a ditch on one trial and a lug on the tyre caught the drivers side front inner wing I just heard a crunch and never thought much of it. Then every one started waving and shouting for me to stop... the tyre had ripped out the bottom of the inner wing and the battery was hanging in front of the wheels by the cables

They all do that sir! I was traversing a ditch on one trial and a lug on the tyre caught the drivers side front inner wing I just heard a crunch and never thought much of it.

What a project, I have a serious soft spot for a classic RR more so an LSE.
Following this with interest, you’re certainly cracking on with the worst of it.
It’s also brought back memories of the soft dash I bought in 2012, me and a mate went half’s on it as a non runner. From memory it cost £600 and was just out of MOT. The plan was to trailer it to someone to get it lrunning and MOTd, my mate lost interest in it and scrapped it without me knowing.
I’ve still never forgiven him fully for that

What a shame! I gave several thousand for this LSE a year ago, which having been stored for years, was also a "non runner"!!!Following this with interest, you’re certainly cracking on with the worst of it.

Glad this thread is still going strong. It was never going to be an overnight turnaround so glad to see you're giving it a very thorough going over!
ThanksReckon I'm about half way through now, but hopefully second half *should* go faster as it's a path I've trodden before..... famous last words
