Good progress made today following a chassis overhaul....Body and chassis now one again...Big thanks to Richard Halfacre (Sheel) for all his help today. Good to see he still remembers how to work on cars without a heated garage and 2 post lift smile and encouraging to see his car back together and looking so good too..

This morning......





Early afternoon....




Think I was lucky with the chassis...lots of powder coat was missing, but very little corrosion and outriggers solid...Sandblasted and sprayed with Epoxy Mastic.

Yes, thats the nicer part of the project when its all clean and accessible......can be expensive too....surprising how many components need replacing, or you think...whilst I have it stripped down!! Good luck with yours....

Alun, we were in the zone....no time for tea until we had it screwed back together, even hid the stool so he couldn't supervise!! The man did well I have to say. Must be yours next?
