So ive had the car nearly 2 weeks ive got well n truely stuck in  :evil:

It will need 2 new wings , welding on the bootfloor , some inner arch work , theres some other welding work that needs doin on the inner dash panel . theres not much actually been done ive just been takin stuff apart , like takink 15 minuits to get the wheels off that were corroded on  :shocked: next on the to do list is really to get the running gear off n stripped down. But my old man wants to move it to a different lock up , the problem with this is that there is somethins called a Cierras Cozwertf in there or somethin made my a company called fued or fraud or somethin . here some more pics too
