Well more progress now car very nearly stripped, not sure how to take out the metal dash frame but found a thread so Ill do that tomorrow. Welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) starts next week. Here are some progress shots.
I hope it is of interest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Roman (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Attached image(s)

Good God, i cant bare to watch this anymore, I will check back when you get to page 500.
Such an undertaking is overwhelming me, My original 73 that i bought off the show room floor and held onto for over 30 years before i cut it up was in far better shape, and i had sentimental attachment to that car too. If you get this car done i will fly over the pond to raise an ale to you and your triumph. Veltror you are THE man....... Best of luck..... |
