the panels are all ordered up & the shell is being prepared, its only the back off the car that is rotten, from the B pillar back, its stuffed full off chicken wire, filler, paper, underseal, something like filler but it has never hardened & badly tacked in patches of tin, the guy in the foto is stevie i was outside his garage in tears, he was cutting all the rot out & saying this will be a nice solid minor when were finnished, its a bit disheartning when you buy a old car thinking its not that bad, then you take a screwdriver to it & its a lot worse than you thought, but at least it was cheep at £380, & i have sold my 62 minor to finance it, more fotos as soon as i can dry my eyes
thanks
michael

OOPS!

Its amazing how rusty that lip can get, I guess that new wheel arches are the only option?

That looks a lot better with all the crud cut away, something good to weld to now

I do that too - sit and stare at things working out plans in my head. I can stare at something for ages whilst assembling all the steps in my head.
Drives the misses nuts.

hi took the rocker covers off today to find that someone in the past has painted the boxing plate with hammerite, and it in really good order
