Thought it was about time I posted some pictures of my on going restoration.
I got given the car around 10 years ago already part stripped with some work carried out and I was originally going to just get it fit for M.O.T and drive it but found the engine was dead and realized that it was going to cost more than the car would of been worth so it sat for a long time getting in the way.
The photo's take up the story when i restarted the work and this time decided I was going to eradicate all the rust possible.
All repair panels are made by myself I'm too tight to pay lots of money for something that I can beat to shape with a hammer!
First day on the frame
Repairs sill section end, sealant channels and front end
Repairs to sills and rear inner wheel arches, the main sills were remarkably solid and only needed minor work.
Floor repairs parts made and fitted, note the longer seat runner sections as the original ones were very short and bent the pans then split!
New boot section and corners made and fitted
New front and rear valences made
Repairs to windscreen area which was pretty bad shape I had to slowly work all the way around bit by bit and make a whole new panel for the scuttle area
Repairs to the roof bar section
Repairs to crash damage and doors
Finally epoxied main body and undersides finished off
Lots of bits that I haven't shown some I haven't got pictures for like the strut towers and outer wheel arches, I will update when I have more to show.
