Just lost my full explanation of the job at hand here as I had it copied ready for pasting and now its gone lol , will get it up as soon as .

Quick explanation , got it cheap at £400 and thought when I didnt have much on I could restore and sell it , all being well . The wee car had a bad resto already done so it now needs corrected.

Needs boot floor sorted with panelling and s few welded patches but a real good shell apart from that . New panels fitted but needing attention .


Complete colour change inside and out , thinking speedwell blue or olympic blue something at yhat end of the blue shading :)

Warning , this restoration may contain shortcuts . ...

Stripped down and rubbed by my 65 yr old apprentice, Da man got tools


this is the good side :) Needs isoponed for dents only .

A panels needing attention both sides , badly fitted and finished .

Couple small dents in roof, bonnet

Bit if repairing to the side of her .

Time to cut out back panel :) Easy access to boot floor and valance


Lightened by the air saw ;)

Boot floor , patches on patches .Tacked and bonded ffs

Always wear your safety glass's H&W Welder lending a hand to back panel

Rear panel lip being cut out and patched and ground .

Before the grind.
