finally went and picked it up today. needs some work doing before it will be back on the road but it will get there. takeing it back to a bare shell, do all the welding needed and paint it. Then build it all back up with everything either new, powder coated or painted. should look ok when its done but will take some time yet.
let me know what you think.
hope all pictures work.
i will do a project thread on this when i eventually get started.

if you do it right it could look the tits when done but its gonna need a lot of money thrown at it. to do it justice you are gonna have to use gen panels as patten parts would be a crap fit

Yes they do. Loades of bits avaliable through beevers auto parts and companies alike. Main areas to lookfor are inner wings on front. Wheel arches on rear and rear quaters at the bottom
in the boot. Water sits in them and get trapped and Roy like hell.
Also front panels can be pretty bad.
