Restoring Archie, my 4 door white saloon
Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2010 5:16 pm
Hello everyone,
I am currently restoring my saloon, Archie.
He is now proudly sitting in my garage waiting to be resprayed ...[frame]

We have stripped him down so that he can be resprayed both inside and out.
We removed the engine ...[frame]

Seats, headliner, lights and wiring have also been removed.
We finished the welding over the weekend and sprayed all underneath...[frame]

More welding ...[frame]

Also, new jacking points have been fitted and painted the same colour to fit in with the welding ...[frame]

Just a few more bits and bobs to remove from Archie, then he will be going into the spray shop within the next 2 - 3 weeks for his makeover inside and out.
Hoping to add more pics as Archie comes to a full recovery.
And a bit more welding to finish it off ...[frame]
