I've been doing odds and sods on this over the past few months, not made a great deal of progress though.

Engine etc came out, and welded in the leg to bulkhead strengtheners

Then it was time for my pet hate, doing wheel arches. But I just got on with it and took my time, inner and outer were rotten.

Got a set of shagged old superlights and fitted a set of 175/50/13s so I can use them
To mock the car up and not worry about damaging my brand new wheels.

Also made a start on bare metalling some panels

So that's as she sits now, over the next few weeks il be cracking on with finishing the welding, stripping the car and getting the engine etc fitted.

Was supposed to be in paint by now, but fingers crossed I can get some good progress over the next few weeks
