wow a big word concourse many thanks for that
well it has all original floors, no welding was done structurally
in the photo there was a lower flange repair done, and as you can see not visible now
it had to have all new old stock front and rear wings and bootlid
it will bought up to standard spec
also will have all new old stock front suspension, also new old stock rear springs etc ( when i get the time)
so i guess it will be like a new car hopefully with many years left in her
also had to haver a new old stock boxing plate, was actually let in again almost invisible repair
luckily the chrome was in very good condition and original
the car was zeubarted from new so this has kept a lot of the underside and inner wings in sound condition
it will be my everyday car
watch this for more updates in the next few weeks as the final respray and parts go on
