Hi All,

Here are some photo's of my 2 year (so far!) resto. The car cost £50 and you can see why from some of the early photos!

So far, the engine has been fully restored and run, the chassis has been reincarnated and I am working on the bodyshell which has had new heater channels/rear quarters etc. I ended today by positioning new inner wing panels/bumper mountings etc ready for welding new weekend!

I am planning to keep the car standard as whilst it was very rusty when found, it was also complete and original.

Enjoy and hope to be posting again soon! Paul W.

Hopefully you'll push the price of scrap back up then.
It'll be worth it in the end though:thumbs:
