As Scott says, this could be a sister for my car, (barring wheels and interior) good luck with the resto. Where abouts are you based ?

its firefox….. try viewing with internet explorer and they will show. its strange and I get it all the time on loads of posts. you just get a filepath with starting /fakefilepath and ending/[picture name] in firefox

lhasadreams might understand whats going on?



sorry    

This article may help you troubleshoot Firefox issues

Make sure you have the latest Firefox version installed

Failing that, install Chrome or Safari browsers way better and faster than Firefox.
Firefox seems to of lost its way of late.

Ah Sheffield, a bit too far to pop over, I'm down in Wiltshire. I must admit yours looks a lot tidier than mine, I'm not doing a full resto at all, just enjoying tinkering with the old girl and keeping her on the road as best I can.  If you can see my avatar, thats the car !

Time for a few shiny bits I think!

Started striping the floor pan and its heavy going so tret myself to so powder coatin! and new rear brakes!

Wanting to keep it nice and original but couldn't forgo a bit of red bling!

Very nice those shiny things  

Matt

Bling tastic mate.

Bit of an update, been busy on the underside……..




just a tad more to do, then moving onto replacing the wishbones and front brakes etc…

So, its been some time since my last post, I've been cracking on though! Tell me what you think!

The underside is about done, complete new suspension, brakes, bearings etc........

So not long now till I can start prepping the body!

Very tidy mate, will be a shame to get it dirty!

Very nice, coming along nicely.

Keep it up!

Well, its been some time since I last posted, things have moved on in the right direction but in a steady fashion!

Underside is now done (and that's the thing that gets me through when I'm feeling that I have a mountain to climb!) just got the refurbished drive shafts to go back on, finish the underside of the spare wheel well and a few little odd's and sods to do.

When I started paint prep, found a little rot on both doors so I've replaced them with original second hand parts in better condition, both still needed work but it was work I could tackle as I don't like that Brown stuff!!

So I've now stripped her down to bare essentials and started to sand! Started of with a 80 grit wet and dry and got her up to a 800 grit (going through all the stages!) and now she's as smooth as a babies one at the minute!

Still much more to do but hope you like the pictures so far!
