Thanks for the warm welcome guys, yes it’s hard to believe we do get sun in the U.K. on occasions.! i live as far as south as you can get in U.K. literally as close to `France as you can get across the English channel, and we do get more sun here then rest of The U.K., which is saying a lot, lol. 1 bigmal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
staffy 87 Report post Posted June 29, 2020 She is now on the rollover jig and strateed stripping the factory underseal off. I’m quite surprised how solid it is, she’s had 2 No. rear 1/4 with outer wheel well and LHS torque box at some point, quite good work carried out. more pics to follow chris 4 RPM, mwye0627, mikee and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

staffy 87 Report post Posted July 25, 2020 Update, started to take a closer look at Sheet metal. In summary 3 main points; 1-inner fender pieces, LHD and RHS to replace as hood hinge fixings missing on both sides 2-LHS frame rail, firewall and floor, find the odd pickle point, so cutting out floor. less on RHS but going to cut that out when LHS done. 3-front rad core support piece, nr RHS top bit crusty And looks like a small fender bender in past so replacing whole unit with RHS inner fender panel as battery tray is rotten from below aside form that the car is solid. getting parts in U.K. proving really difficult, having to order via and circa 6 week delay and driving me mad eg global west subframe connectors ... joys of owning a US car over here in U.K. 1 Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

staffy 87 Report post Posted August 23, 2020 Floor pans on both sides are now in and just doing some prep work on seat risers and the Global West subframe connectors, before welding them in. I have a few days off next week, so hoping to get the welding finished, save for the front rad support. 2 Grabber70Mach and mikee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
