Just a taster of my next long term project which was last taxed in 1995.

 

Is it too far gone? Quite possibly but we will try to save her

 

First thing will be to brace the shell before trying to move from my mates driveway.......

If youve got the time, money and its still got the vin number then yeah why not.


Actually just read that the Vins a requirement after 1980 so thats alright.

Never to far gone - brace up and weld on.

Looks like it will be a fun project! Good Luck!

This is defo savable, with some time and money, its good to see another one being saved.

[stuenutter]

As you can see theres vast amount of rust. 

My plan is to fit toe and heal boards and half floors first to try and get a bit of strength back into it

I'm going to leave the rear of the subframe attached to keep alignment while fitting the healboard as I know them rear bolts are going to snap as soon as I touch them and ultimately that panel will have to be changed too.
