This shell has been sitting at my place pretty much untouched since August 2010 and waiting for me to finally realise that Monty's old shell is way pasted the point for me to justify spending the amount of money on it to get it fixed properly. So after working it out, I decided it was best to use this shell and put all the parts in it that made Monty, Monty. Im going to get the shell blasted and get Wal to fix the rust and bad repair/patch up jobs that have been done on it.

Before the strip down.......





The issues and rust....

Different strut towers.



General engine bay and front area nastiness....

Sills and rear wheel arches.

































The dint on the rear corner...





Under dash issues...







The rest of the shell just needs a weee look at and is pretty okish.

Wow bit of work there. be good to see Monty back on the road.

That will keep you busy for sometime...good start keep us updated

Shell looks as good as you'll find nowdays without spending a kings ransom.

Pretty sound shell in person IMO, I have seen worse (& better). at least you have a direction now, and can move forward.....

A shame I have used my monthly data usage opening this thread though, you must have been up half the night sorting out hosting all those pics!.....

Good luck with "Monty 2"

You have a fair idea on what I paid for this shell.

Looks like a good solid shell by the way other than those rust

Heres a pic for some motivation

Ive got enough motivation, just lacking in funding.
