Well cleaned up and painted 2 out of 4 of the above wheels but they dont fit over the front hubs.. bugger.
Googled how to remove front guards to start getting front end cleaned up as planning on a big tidy up of engine bay as first step.
However I didnt see any files on how to remove the "factory welded" front gaurd onto the sill panel lol.
Looks like previous owner thought cutting the rust out and just leaving a big gaping hole would be fine, just weld the bottom of the gaurd straight to the car... hmmm.
So all in all not as bad as i thought it might be. Now to get gaurd repaired. Are the replacement weld in panels on Ebay any good? Or is there a better place to buy them.?
