No going back!






Steve at the body shop has really got stuck into the body repairs. The body has been braced and then the rear end and boot floor chopped out. This was followed by removal of most of the floor pan and side rails. removing the floor pans exposed rust in the cross member for the seat supports and these will need replacing as well. Additionally the rear inner wings (fenders) have been poorly repaired in the past and both need replacing along with the rear spring mounts. Well that's as low as it can go, the only was is up!

Bumper brackets


The bumper brackets are back from powder coating. Will is looking to rebuild and assemble the front sub frame and components in the next few days.

Door Hinge



One of the door hinges was broken and Will sourced a new one. When stripping it down he found the pin was bent so had a new one made up with extra grease threads in it as well.

Repair panels





All the repair panels arrived at wills and are now over at the bodyshop for use in the rebuild. here are shots of a few of them.
