Still got to tidy up the old floor repairs and the body work is done. We are aimng to get some paint on it this week.

Some more progress today.

Dave was working on the rear floors. They had been repaired previously, so there was no rust there, but whoever repaired them cut the rusted bit out of the floor, then welded the new piece on top of the old floor . Looks nice and neat from the top, but looks like shit when you looked under the car. So it was decided to change both rear pans.









Hopefully tomorrow both new pans will be in



I got into the wet sanding of the panels











Repairs on the guards all done





Hopefully the weather holds out over the next few days so we can get stuck into it

Those rear pans really were a bodgy fix

I had a bit of a laugh to myself when i saw that. Whoever did the work on this car before should be ashamed of themselves. More so if it was done in a panel shop. No matter how nice the car looked when it was done a potential buyer would take one look underneath and think the whole car was repaired that way. Im so glad peter decided to get this done.

Certainly turning out to be a decent 'freshen up' haha, good job boys, keep it up!

Bloody marvelous work !!!

It's going to be great

Thanks gents .

Floors were finished today.

Old





New







Well worth the extra work and expense, even though there was structually nothing wrong with the old pans they looked like shit.


More sanding
