Its not too bad ...needs a full rebuild but the bits are all there and it hasn't been messed with 2 much.plan to keep it as original as possible so gonna carefully strip it down to a shell and sort the body work then reuse as many of the parts as I can

Er well the colour on the outside is a matt red and isn't original so I'll be painting it the colour of the dashboard and the rest of the interior which is orange I think it might be vermillion

OK so done a few more bits
Exhaust and gear linkage out
IMG_20150430_175635.jpg

 

Bulk head bits and most engine bits out

IMG_20150430_175655.jpg


The interior is all out now and there's a few odd repairs in there ...
Its got over sills ..not a surprise ..however the passenger side one appears riveted on
IMG_20150430_175738.jpg

 


Lots of patches that are screwed on

IMG_20150430_175720.jpg

 

And most oddly the cross member appears to have part of another cross member inside it despite it not being rotten and it was also bolted on
IMG_20150430_175711.jpg

 

Each hole had a bolt in ...odd

Try posting the IMG codes into your post instead of the DIRECT codes. That way, your images will show in the thread instead of having to follow links.

 

Makes it easier to follow :-)

 

Looks like a good base though
