Been getting it back to the metal today and yesterday to put on some seal sealant and undercoat on to protect it before the cage etc...

Unfortunately I forgot to take any decent pictures of how I finished today - pretty much all done on the outside...some inner work to be done at some point this week. My friend came over with his camera and took a few pictures!



Had a trial fit of the extra wide ZG flares that will be going on...



Pretty wide!



Getting the roof back to the metal!





Pedo bear?



And a sneaky shot of another car that is waiting to be restored...

Wow, what a great car, and seriously impressive work!  Wouldn't it have been easier to just "make" the car out of metal, the number of parts you've welded, there can't be any origial car left  :grin:

And an updated from last friday...I want to get some of the inside painted too. The roof should be finished this week and I can get it strapped to the trailer to disappear to Warwick for a month or so...
