shell

hi thanks for advice but dont really want a shell ! i want to keep as much as the original car as possible , i dont belive the rear was replaced or been in an accident !! water had got under the vinyl roof and sat under the rear pillars causing most of the rust ! Darran could be right he probably knows alot more than me about these cars but im not convinced .

Speak to Darran im sure hell get you a shell, its what he does for a livng

John,
As a suggestion why not post this and all the others in the resto section as by the look of things you will be some time and it will help to keep all your threads, pictures and information together.
will be a usefull link for yourself / others in time.

dont be afraid to ask on here for advice, there will be plenty available, and good luck with the resto, will be interesting to follow its progress,

oh dear,
tale tale signs of 1/4 panels being fitted years ago

Always rust out where there welded on.

Accident damage years ago.

Be cheaper to reshell.

Good luck with the resto.
