this pic is evern better i think, shows a mint inner arch lip and the bottom corner where it always rots on a nova inside the wheel arch tub after being welded..

Greg, great work, gonna be done for billing??
Top work there Greg, looks like it's coming along nicely.
great to see some progress
keep it up greg
Good work Greg! :)
Had a read through the other day but never got a chance to comment. Top marks for the speed you are restoring this, should be a very nice car when finished, also good to hear its going to be used in anger rather than sat in a garage lol
:thumb: good progress fella
cheers, not sure if it will be ready for billing now..
back into the notion for rallying, need to go and get my competition licensce and sit my B.A.R.S test. starting rallying is going to be expensive, but i have always wanted a go and the car is sitting there. you will probably see it in the background in some of the pics i post up of the sport..
not giving up with the sport though, going to have a good day at working on it tomorrow. hopefuly get all welding apart from sills done.
i am waiting on 2 genuine full sills coming for it, not going to bother with skins anymore..
