It’s just been neglected and to be fair I don’t think there’s many that’s been stripped this far to see how bad they actually are! It just wants going all out to make it the cleanest one out there, making it worthwhile if the prices ever jump like gtt’s! ---

Cheers, not much else you can do when you can’t even get sills or jacking points! Haha, it just depends on time, to try and make it last and look original, not everyone appreciates it or wants to pay for it. I’m sure yours will come apart easier ---

Wow. The amount of rust on that one is almost bigger than healthy metal. I’ve got two 21’s and one of them has been decommissioned due to tin worm but I think even that one is better than yours. ---

It is! To be fair, the main bodywork and panels aren’t too bad. These are all the hidden areas that you can only see when it’s fully stripped so I’m sure others are similar. The 2wd that I’m using as a donor was better apart from the crash damage which made it not cost effective to repair. I’m sure most would have scrapped this, but with supposedly 30 left and about 18 known ones, plus this one has been owned by mostly club members, it seemed a shame to just break it. ---

:determined: Those subframe mounting points are frightening. You’ll be glad you made that jig! As much as I wanted my bits painted before the summer I don’t think it will happen, I reckon my car is going to be on your jig this autumn/winter. What you’re doing here is what I want doing to mine. I’ll strip the shell to a rolling chassis and dump it at your door 🙂 [Previous page](https://turborenault.co.uk/t/j2-mhr/32890.md?page=1) [Next page](https://turborenault.co.uk/t/j2-mhr/32890.md?page=3)
