Cheers rob an gregg 
Bit of a up date got diff up and drive shafts bolted up just need to get a new diff hanger and all is good. Also got sound deadening fitted to front floors.
Next on the list is some more body work get the wheels and cam cover blasted and do all gaskets on the engine as a few are weaping ready for engine and box to go in over the bank holiday. I can't thank the few good friends who have given there time to help me with this project enough. Without those it would take for ever to do. :0)

Last night I finished cleaning the windscreen aperture of sealer and little scabs.
I then turned my attention to the passenger side door shut to attack the corrosion were the wing joins and get it preped ready for paint. Shall put photos up later

what a mare this turned out to be........ after Aaron applied the etch primer all looked good until we got a massive dose of reaction in the a pillar to wing area 
.
took a while to sort this then hit it with high build primer and now all is good. leaving in primer for now until other side,boot shut and front of roof area are sorted then hit them with base and lacquer all in one go.
all was not a disaster though managed to get the chassis leg repaired were brake fluid had run down it which was a major bonus lol.
also got the engine on the stand and started stripping the alloy bits ready for bead blasting saturday morning along with the wheels
dont think ill get to many horses with this powerhouse lol
nice little blow in there cheers Aaron
thats all for now bit of a short update but keep plodding on im really happy with the progress in just a short few months

well i got the bead blasting done on saturday that was a major bonus and a huge chunk out the way now just need to get the stuff i blasted painted up and finished
had a few days rest off it too as i was starting to get sick of the sight of the garage but couldnt resist going out tonight and making a start stripping the bay loom of all the nasty insulating tape and redoing it with some very nice cloth loom tape i acquired 1 roll down and i need to get some more but its looking loads neater and fresher than it did.... this weekend should see the engine stripped cleaned and most of the gaskets replaced too ready for fitting bank holiday weekend
wheels before blasting
all stuff after blasting
loom looking grotty
cloth loom tape

Not updated for a while had a hectic month and p.c is on one.... also )it of a arse to upload photos from mobile....
Work has been a lil slow but been cracking on this last week or so all dents are more or less sorted and body is nearly ready for primer Etch first on bare metal then high build.
Must say though sorting stone chips in the roof is a bitch but down to bare metal they went same as the a pillars. Will upload photos when I can.

Todays the day the Etch and high build go on so quite an exciting day then once hardened time to get her back one the floor and out side for a garage tidy up and a good wet and dry session then a few coats of base and lacquer just to seal her up for the winter months while I crack on with some other much needed fettling
