Delivered the car to Rockys workshop today

Funny when you start stripping a car how many faults and cover ups you find

Project well underway Now.
No Turning Back

I've already got him working hard on it, will be totally stripped down in the next week or so to access the amount of work needed. Few bits have got to be put right before we start but most looks ok.

More trouble ahead

but Rocky is on top of it found some previous accident damage while stripping back the car.
Repaired before but badly

Also headliner is crap needs throwing in the nearest skip.
The more we go through this car the more we understand how sick she really was

True Redneck !

That looks like shotgun damage

Been pulled out too far and skimmed with 1/2" of filler. Cars got to be perfect so has to be put right with no filler.

Wow who'd have known that was under there

that definatenly needs fixing properly so its with the right people

Hope all goes well.

We knew something wasnt quite right before starting due the the odd shaped rear wheel arch but you always hope it isnt too bad.

art b · « **Reply #18 on:** June 09, 2008, 09:34:57 am »

keep us posted folks....

mike · « **Reply #19 on:** June 11, 2008, 06:54:12 pm »

Rocky advised would be better to go for new rear fender panel.
As the less bondo the better.
Latest photos of new panel
