trailered the amazon estate today[with pics]
been preparing the car for a few weeks before its restoration starts,removing all the interior,wings etc.
i took it away today to have all the fabrication work done,inner and outer sills,floor pan,chassis rails,and a few other areas. hopefully i,ll have it back early new year,then put the new wings on,then its off to be painted then mot'd,then eventually putting all the interior back in and cleaning the nuts off it!! cant wait! |

Excellent! Best of luck with it Pez. Keep us updated with plenty of pics during the whole thing. Hopefully they wont find too many horrors underneath...

Are you able to get some "in progress" photos? I'd love to see the rust coming out and new metal going in. (Also, it's a great record to keep with the car of course).

Wow, that is very rusty!
Surprising because it looked pretty good before the work started. Best of luck John |
