Hello from the east midlands!
 

Hello all, only just got my account activated after quite a while :)

I have a 88 s12 which im in the process of sorting out the rust, rusted wings, floor / sill seams, all arches have some rust. So as you can image i'm after an s12 that someone is breaking so i can chop some panels off!

Here are some pics:

When it came home, wouldn't start :( tried to jump start it, turned out to be a bad ground to the transistor on the ignition coil!

Rust between the floor and the sills.

Will keep it all updated hopefully and may pick the brains of some of you s12 gurus;)

An S12 with the classic problems!

At least you got to the bottom of it.

They all rust in the same places to be honest, so trying to find a doner for panels is like trying to guess the lottery numbers.

But there are a couple breaking on here you *may* get your floor panels from.

Thanks, i've tried to contact a few people on the forum, just waiting for replies now.

good to have one more silvis owner in nottingham ;)

Tim? I take it you're the chap abs was speaking to about the rusted arches and you advised replacing them with escorts ones?

yes i am. wot side wing do you need there wos one on ebay a few weeks ago for drivers side i was told. but u can repair them with a welder .cheers :)

Yes mate I won that wing :p, cost me quite a bit! I'm thinking of making a fibreglass mould from it for future use but it seems like alot of work.

i would not bother with moulding it work on body bud .;)

Am doing so as we speak lol

mine needs a bit of welding too best thing to do is start from the back and work forward plate by plate and weld on good metal . have not done my yet working on back susp now :cool:
