Well time has come to reshell Fran's GSI, ( thread here http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=351996&page=3 )

The shell will need some work so we thought it would be easier to reshell and get it mint.

Bought this off Mr Firestate88 last wednesday, a nice road trip down to Northampton, boring driving at less than 60mph.





Back at my lockup



Let the stripping begin...































Next is to prep all the bodywork and engine bay, arch work, paint underneath a nice shiney black, silver
fuel tank and other silver detailing.

Colour is kind of undecided yet but it isn't Arseden Blue or Grey

Finished painting the underside, just need to start putting it back together









Tank finished



Heat shields freshened up



As it stands at the moment
