As well as the new body panels its getting new air bags,
dampers, cv joints, complete bush kit, swivel housings,
front diff, calipers, discs, pads, ball joints fuel & brake
lines and bearings.

I'm sure there will be a few more additions to the list
before we are done

After the new body panels are fitted the body will come off
the chassis and be completely stripped and then go off for
an acid bath then galvanized

Looking great! Well done. I've been thinking of a similar project myself for a while now but I'm not sure I have the skills so if you ever want to move it on for another project do please let me know.
Thanks! thumbup
Thanks for the nice comments

It will be for sale in the future but the price will be quite high due to the amount of work going into it along with the new parts etc

I am looking for another project and have seen a few but there in worse shape than mine was and the sellers want way to much money for them. They look okay from the outside until you start taking the bumpers off, wings etc then you find all the rot and parts that have to be replaced, it gets a bit scary as
you start adding it all up

Thanks Dunk, I thought it might be. I have been talking to Phil about mine.

Looks like he is doing a great job on yours. Keep up the posts

Paw
Cheers Paw

Phil and his main fabrication guy know their stuff and
the quality is top notch.

I wouldn't go anywhere else, i searched around and spoke to a
few doing the same kind of thing, some are not quite as they appear
so be careful who you give the job too along with your money
