cant get photos to upload so ive attatched a link, ive fully stripped it back to baremetal getting it garnet blasted , i have replaced a section in the floor and stitched a new roof on as well as tubbing the rear wheel arches to get my 16x8 inch wheels in there and cutting the rear quarters off as im waiting on new ones to arrive from overseas, ive also had to move the front inner guard back to allow the front wheels to turn as well as pumping the guards to the limit,also replaced both door skins tailgate,bonnet,front guards,tailight panels, rear panel, sills an rear quarters with taiwanese panels its much cheaper this way than spending the time to repair the old panels.Pictures will be updated on this website each month.
