Total Reconstruction.
Discussion
Well, the interior has been stripped
I've taken it outside for a jolly....
... and I'm ready to start glassing the repair section in.
For those on FB you can follow it in more detail here

Amazing work so far - in your garage too!
I cannot wait to see how you fit the LS engine and make the necessary mods etc.
Which LS and gearbox are you going to choose and why? I'm so interested in how you will physically set this up plus link into the Cerbs electrics etc.
There are plenty LS engines available here in Australia - don't discount the idea of sourcing from here instead of the usual USA. A few come up in the weekly salvage auctions around the corner from where I live. Sometimes the car has had a rear end prang with the front completely intact.
When my AJP goes bang this will be my route also.

Chassis and engine are a bit down the line but will be planning on a crate ls3 with tko 600. I had a tko 600 behind the 383SBC in the GD and it was fine - dont really see the need for a 6 speed ( and all the problems with fitting) with all that torque - the plan is for a fast road car not a track car. I plan to use the chevy run kit and have the engine effectively separate from the body electrics. The cerb electrics are all being binned and replaced with an aftermarket programmable canbus system.I cannot wait to see how you fit the LS engine and make the necessary mods etc.

Front repair now complete bar bodywork finishing.
Rudders: Wow - please keep us informed how you do the electrics.
A standalone system for both engine and car electrics is way beyond me but I'm a quick learner!
I'm also interested in Howe you mount the engine and maybe adjust some of the rails to squeeze it as far back as possible.
Jhonno: as I said, when it goes bang! 100,000 on the clock still running ok with an oil leak but "they all do that sir!"
