This is my first post since joining the forum and I hope to contribute to this great site. I bought the car last March off a fathers friend cheap on basis that it would be put back on the road. I have added 5 spoke wheels , a loud exhaust and an LSD mainly since owning it. Another project had prevented me from beginning this one but that has since been deemed too rusty. I plan on sorting the rust , get it Nct'd and maybe a Cossie kit if funds allow. Also toying with the idea of adding a turbo onto the existing engine.





When stripping the front of the car , i noticed a small rust hole behind the towing eye , i drilled all the spot welds and removed the panel to discover the bare remains of the underlying panel. this was the first bit of welding to be sorted on the car.







Decided to remove the front panel completely to weld













This is all i have managed to do on the car. I am currently in Final year in school so spare time is hard got with study and all that , so updates may be scarce.
