These shots are a few weeks old, but the car is now on the rotissserie. I'm driving over there tomorrow for a couple of days work.

Everytime I update the thread I get this:

guess I better get my ass moving and finish the old girl off.

Ok fellas, here's some progress..........

here's some fresh photos from last weekend. Engine bay stripped to bare steel. This was done over 2 days, one side at a time. Each half sealed with a rust neutraliser/epoxy at the end of the day, so the whole thing isn't shown stripped, just 1 side at a time. Also some pics of the quarters spot welded in, and the windscreen channel repair. All steel fabrication/welding. No body filler.

Frame rails haven't been cleaned up yet.





















And the quarters spot welded in. Looks real nice up close

A couple more pics. Outer passengers wheel housing stripped. Will get the sand blaster into the tight little corners. Cleaned up the bits where the first sandblast couldn't access - on the floor under the tranny etc

WOW,
I just went back and re-read this from the start, who would have thought there would be soo much work on a nice looking car, but most of us have been there too.
She's looking great Duncan, keep up the good work, you'll never be sorry you took the extra time and effort to make it "right"
Keep the pictures coming!
