Default my s1 restoration

I am now 3 months in to it and it not getting any easier first the inner wings go then if you do the inner wings, you might as well do the front panel. plus getting the front wings is a bitch. I bear metaled the whole car to see what other repairs where bodge jobs. I found that the rear panel had a big gash in it, so i had to get a new one. now im stuck on the A posts lots of rot. i was so close to finishing it.

Default more pictures

managed to get some A piller posts off a mark 4 escrot they are slightly different but got them to fit i had to cut them out at a breakers. it was fun
theres some pictures




































Now ive started on the front end inner wings, front wings bonnet and front panel. it fit quite well with a little help i was surprised.

















All lined up now just needs welding and a bit more filler work then spray. Then the easy bit fitting it up. will keep you posted
