Re: CSK 120 - Restoration
Great pictures!
I started mid October doing same job on my own 93 200tdi 2 doors "normal" Range. So i see this pictures live every day. I used this car daily last 4 years and drove it from 260000km to 360000km and now it was really necessary to give fresh metal to the car. I found your restauration history some days ago via a link of a member from blacklandyforum in germany. Really every cm rust is in detail at same places as in my car, even the big hole on the right side of fuel tank inspection gate. I will replace this with an aluminium one from a 87 Range, not original 93 but i like the possibility to have really good reach to the top of the chassis in the back with Boge, fuel tank mounts etc. Without seeing your photos before i nearly found on many places the same solutions as you, especially with the sills, A- and B- Posts and i cutted and welded the rear sidewalls nearly in the same way as you. The inner front wings i replaced 4 years ago directly after buying the car. I used that time second hand wings from a 89 disco. The front sections i only fixed with screws and sikaflex, al parts are rust prevented from "inside" between the parts and nothing is burned away as it happens, if i am welding. These frontwings are still in very good condition as i can see now. Thanks to Branthokorux rust prevention.
I really can feel with you what a job you have done, how much dust you have "eaten".
And i hope some more people will do the same, some more of this beautiful cars will survive and seen on the roads, not only dry stored in big halls!
Best Regards from germany and i wish you a lot of fun without repairs with your beautyful CSK Range!

Re: CSK 120 - Restoration
Axel, any links to a thread on your rebuild?
If you wanted to know more I have 100's of photos stored in various places
David, the wheels are very much a love/hate thing. My options for 18" wheels are limited to these or using hub-adaptors which I wasn't so keen on. I still have the lovely original wheels you supplied the CSK with waiting for some of my time to rub them back and spray them the correct colours. Glad to see you've seen this thread too, if we're ever down your way I'd be happy to drop by for a coffee and you can re-acquaint yourself with the old girl
In other news;
I've replaced the distributor with a new one, a new set of 10mm HT leads and an uprated coil. This has made a big difference to how she performs.
I had a friend take a few photos out-and-about so thought I would post them here too, the suspension seems to have settled a bit. These photos were pre-LPG kit, the whole thing has now also been coated in waxoyl inside and out to try and slow down the rusting process.
