Finally an update

Not spent a great deal of time on it but at the same time it's been a lot of work cleaning this lot up and painting it all. Just a coat of rust undercoat and a few coats of satin black. No powdercoating or anything its no bufty mobile
It was the leaf springs that took the longest. I separated them all, de rusted them, reassembled them with a smear of high pressure grease between the leaves, prepped them and painted them!



and all bolted back on with new Super Pro poly bushes

Lee, thanks for the messages re the Wheeler Dealer car... just read all your resto thread, some amazing work... your finished car will be better than any of mine!

This is how the Wheeler Dealer car finished up...





This is what I had before, the attention to detail on this is no way as good as yours


This is what I have now, love it to bits, the 2.1 pinto pulls really, really well.


Well done on all your hard work, I can't wait to see yours finished.

[Lee R]
