yea good work dude good first project youve got!!
use a bit scafolding pole as a lever to loosen the hub nuts and mind the passenger side is opposite threads.
this will be a good learner for you mate,keep up the good work
I've seen alot worse, dosent look too bad a base really. So far most of the bits you need to weld up are fairly easy.
Good luck, ill be keeping an eye on this one
Youve got a good car compare to my first sr mate, had to pretty much rebuild the whole car in a week. Brakes look like standard with drilled and grooved discs, my GTE/GSI brakes were always vented.
If its your first project theres plenty of people/articles on here that can help you out and show you the way mate, keep us updated
looking good johnny keep up the good work, take your time and get a haynes manual. youll need it.
as for the front hud there is a large nut with split pin in it connected to the driveshaft have you got this off?
