      Hey Glyn, I thought cleaning all the crap and rust off my back suspension was a rotten job ("Time to get those rear springs fitted" mentioned in this section), until I read this thread tonight. It makes excellent reading, so you keep on persevering with this job because you are doing great. You will get there eventually and everyone will want to see it!

      Keep it Going!

      Tim.

          The photos of Glyns car in that workshop were taken in in 2005 !

          The photos of Andy Burtons car were taken this year ! (some today lol)

          Mark and I both had workshops at the same place, I moved into one next door to him shortly before he moved to Australia and Andy Burton moved into Marks old place after he left
          Cheers Rob.

                      I'm trying to get the thread up to date to where it is now and I have done a bit here and there recently for all the doubters

                      back to the story

                      the corners of the bulkhead were horrible so Mark cut them off and started making new ones from scratch

                      and new A panels










                      with this sorted Mark started filling in the space at the front and welding the inner wings on, this involved putting the wings/bonnet/front panel on and off several thousand times







                      new



                      with this sorted it was the turn off the other kick panel



                      more to follow
                      Cheers Glyn

                            then it was on to the bulkhead side is welded in and ground down, the wing filler is welded on, and we started making the front radiator/ slam etc. panels fit.







                            rad tried for size



                            Cheers Glyn

                              then Mark fitted the rad panels and slam panel , then got the wings and front panel ready to fit and drilled some mounting holes so they can go back in the same place after paint .

                              We left fitting the wings and front panel till after we have finished the underside, next stage was to get it on the rollover spit.





                              got another better bonnet at this stage, must say seeing it paneled up at the front made me go a bit squiffy







                              melded up

                              Cheers Glyn
