Looks like good job! Nice work. Well done for taking on such a rusty car that many folk wouls have scrapped. :D

You got plenty of bracing across the body which is good, on the first pic it looks like the car had broken its back, I guess you fitted the door before fully welding the sills and floors to make sure the car was still the same shape??

ANd I do like the green colour scheme for the axle. Makes a change from the ubiquitous chassis black! :)

Please post some more pics of the build,
Cheers John - all comments IMHO
