Yeah fingers crossed Dyl, depends on the usual things like time, money and lack of problems along the way...

should come up good, as all patched are being butt welded in, so repairs will be near invisible by the time we get jam on it

Just showed this project to a family friend who is a certifier he is horrified with the welding and reccomends getting it checked for penetration.


Jokes he said it looks mint!

Great work Kitch

You have almost convinced me to take on some of my own Panel work instead of sending it out to the panel beaters.

Your doing a great job & keep it up

Rusty unsure about your comment... my sense of humour isnt that functional this week, so I will take it with a grain of salt. ... :roll:


Been out tonight to pay for progress to date, and took a couple of pic's.
metalwork is about 3/4 done, just got to do LH sill and rear guards and wheel arches, and pull the punt out of the rear end.
Hoping to have the metal work finished in a fortnight, then its on to the rottissiere (thats a c@nt of a word to try and spell after 4 beers..) will dress and paint underneath, then plan to finish off and paint shell internals and engine bay - then home perhaps in April for me to fit out engine bay, suspension, brakes and interior over the winter monthes......

Rebuilt Left hand A pillar outer layers

New LH sill - yay!
