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
