1974 1.8

Brought home for $700.

Needs floorpans, and a general go through to see what else is up.

PO had to move this weekend so he was desparate.

The build starts here.

Not going to bore you with many more pics until the time comes.

I have no jack points on the longs and some other patches and holes that are a concern...oh an a "repaired" hell hole. I also have a lack of trust for repairs I have not done/seen.

So, my first question, should I start with the small fixes like the trunk and the frunk (it's not bad at all) or go after the floorboards and long repair first?

When I started my build, it was my welding skills that determined the order of repairs. They were rudimentary at best, and I was quite rusty from not haven done much welding for years. So I decided to tackle the trunks first to get in the groove before diving into structural. If I were more confident in my skills when I started, I probably would have completed all the long repairs first with the car level and well-supported on the ground. Then moved to the trunks only because it would have been difficult to complete those with the nose and tail bolted to a rotisserie. Then up on the rotisserie for the floor pan and remaining repairs. As was said, first step is to get some adjustable braces in and get the chassis measures correct.

Have fun! You are starting with a much better car than I did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
