Waiting for parts from Old Phartz Partz...and Mini City too...
Oh this should a be quick fix...well it sorta was but it sorta was not at the same time...
Still not sure what this medal means...the car originally came from Denmark....so it could be something...just not sure what...
Then you start poking around and you get the ole Swiss cheese tin worm farm...
This hurts looking at it...
Have now fear...the patch panels are here....
Let the games begin I say....
fire up the ole pipe and get the grinder all warmed up too....
More to come

More to come...
Trimming out the rusty stuff and making all this stuff fit together again...
I have never done one of these before but my theory is save as much OEM metal as you can...it is way better quality than the new repo as far as the weldability of the steel
Trying to make stuff look like they belong there...
Last week I did a very bad thing...I welded into the quarter panel flange area...5/16x18 UNC weldable nuts...
I know this is NOT a good thing...but I have wrenches that I can use for this size fasteners...
Still not sure what I am doing with this car but I am having a blast cutting and welding...
My great grandfather was a blacksmith...maybe that is why I like to weld and cut and tack and repeat this stuff over and over again...
