New Project Arrives

Rear axle finished today and put away awaiting the chassis, stone guards will not be refitted, and a picture of what I started with !

that's a world of difference

Collected new seats and cubby box today ! Started stripping the doors ready for paint prep.

Looks like you've got your work cut out, good luck.

Nice work so far, any news from Richards' on the chassis yet? You ordered yours slightly before me and I went to collect mine at the weekend.
Sure you will do soon if not

No not heard anything yet ! Bit envious now At least you can get started now. What colour are you doing yours ? My wife has chosen Fiat Olive Green

FIAT !

Very sorry for shouting out loud there. For a moment I thought you said Fiat Olive Green

Lol ! Was going to be Keswick green but she wanted a metallic. Have no issue Fiat as opposed to Tarta

Started sanding bonnet, it's covered in thick lacquer with a strange texture covering a faded dayglo orange and repairing dent.

Looking good mate. Very good find at that price. Would have been rude not to.

i cant believe how quick you've cracked on with this. i need to pull my finger out with mine i just cant be bothered to do anything with these dark nights

infact i was nearly motivated enough to go out and grease the grease nipple on the winch, however ive been dragged around the streets tonight by my 5 and 2 year old and i just have no motivation anymore.

Keep the photos coming and hopefully ill muster up a little humph mid week and do it!

I know what your saying. But want to get it up and running.

Get it to mot standard and then everything else can be done as a rolling restoration.

Chassis is ready Time to move on a gear

A long day of sanding and priming, starting to get panels prepped for paint

Look at those doors!! I can't see one single dint!!!

The one in primer had two biggest was about 6mm ! The other one was off a 6 month old tcdi that had an engine fire that destroyed the front end and nearside door

10 o'clock ! Just got in from Collecting my chassis from Richards Chassis
