coming on well now does it need a lot of work

Not much left in the shell to do finish scuttle and bowl bottom rear quarters [getting repair sections] and rear window\boot corners underneath bit of seam welding radius rod brackets maybe panhard rod crush tubes for front crossmember[main reason one thread stripped] little bit of rust in boot and doors but hopefully no more hidden surprises plus tub for arches not a lot if you read and say it quickly no doubt I'll find more.

bit more

Finished [until I put it back on spit] inside what seam welding and plating I wanted to do not putting turrets in but tied inner arches to shocky mounts
[can't hurt] and closed off boot to inside hopefully to help stiffen shell also to avoid damage to rear seat from items in boot.

update

Well it's been a while since my last post [interference mainly from work] but I've managed to get all the panels to finish the shell also found a couple of rusty escorts in the scrub which I hope to pick up in the near future[be good for spare glass and bits n pieces].
not computer savvy enough attach text to photos so
1 Was going to fit this prior to the arches and measured [carefully] and cut and thought not to bad.
2 then popped the arch on and oops
So on tother side I'll do the arch first.
3 And why bodge up like that just as easy to do properly
4 So onto prep for arch just as well it will be hidden

bit more done

apologies

Don't know why the post ends up all over the place I put the text first and when I insert the attachments modern technology puts them wherever
