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 . ...

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.

Still debating colour , might do it s Gulf rep , any ideas on paint scheme which will help sell it when the time comes ? Cheers all
