          Im loving this and it makes me just want to get on with mine. The problem I have is another car parked next to it that I just can't get shot of and its in the way. Fingers crossed it will be gone soon.

            I am enjoying watching your car being brought back to life.
            I love this sort of thing and seeing the transformation. I love it even more when its been done well as in your case. Is this your trade?
            Marvelous job and thank you for sharing it with us.

                the easiest bit is polishing it afterwards. That's all I'm good at

                        few more jobs done not long left now for paint!

                        fitted the nearside sill gave it a good coat of seal. i would of liked the original sill but had to do with a pat part.






                        excuse the run in the paint it wasn't me lol



                        gave my new wings a coat of seal.










                        part of the sunroof was also rusty so replaced that




                        also by Ariel



                        i had to put new metal in all four door shuts, for the door seals as well.



                        test fitted the door and wing

                            it's looking great - be brilliant to see it painted - I wish I could tackle a project that bad - in the timescale you've done it in...

                              Looking very good indeed. I have been cracking on with mine too but nothing really worth taking pictures of. I have stripped off all the front suspension drive shafts etc. These are having the treatment from my new sand blaster
