Took the front chassis/box sections down to bare metal and all the way down the floor pans that are usually under the heatshields as there was corrosion/bubbling.Three coats of Rust Bullet on,will hopefully get a coat of gloss on tomoz weather permitting  Also cut off the heat shield mounts I won't be using when re-building       ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Looking good Kev, I know how much of a ballache it is doing it from doing mine. I haven't got my heat shields off yet though. One of them is being replaced soon though. Are you leaving heat shields off entirely or replacing them with something? ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

As usual it's turned into a bigger job than planned Got all the underside painted,removed rear beam and re-did the boot floor area so its all matching fresh paint Will get better pics when its not raining     Water pump has had a slight leak for a while,so changed pump and new belt kit fitted. Was very easy to do the belt with no front suspension/subframe in the way!   Had a nice parcel arrive this morn,selection of bolts/washers I have had plated by Carl at Mech Repairs and a PAS pump re-location kit too You never know when the pump will be in your way..........  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Few more bits coming together now thankfully New subframe mounts compared to old:  Drain hole added to new ones so they don't hold water:  VTS rack built up,new boots,track rods and a steering ram   Never seen it mentioned on here before but the Gti6 track rods are longer than the VTS ones,you could use the VTS ones but you would have quite a lot more of the threads protruding on TRE. Nylock nut used to help keep the water out of track rods:   Needed to replace the inner CV boot on drivers shaft,and also when I got it off the intermediate bearing had play in it and felt rough when spun,so looked for parts but ended up getting a Drive Line rebuilt shaft for less ££ than parts to repair mine!  PAS pump re-location kit fitted,excellent piece of kit this IMO   Pug would only supply a bag of 20 nuts for the drive shaft intermediate bearing retaining pins so bought some off the bay deeper and easier to get too than the shallow standard ones  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Looking great Kev. As I didn't think the plating would last long I painted my new subframe mounts before installation too, but I didn't think of a drain hole which is a great idea. Might see if I can get a drill in at the right angle???I painted my VTS track rods like you did and greased the threads, the garage didn't comment that they were different and it all seems to work. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Cheers Mik.Yeah the VTS track rods will be ok,its just there will be circa 20mm more thread sticking out to get the tracking set You will be able to drill the mounts from in the arch area I would guess ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Those nuts look much better than standard, I had to butcher one of the ones to get mine out since I rounded the bas**rd so I'll be ordering some of them off the bay. Don't know the link for where you had them from do you?Are you giving all the front arches a refurb like the underside has had? ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!
