Jesus, 18 months ago! Welcome back Jim!!
cant wait to see some more pics just read thru the whole thread looks sweet
Don't get too excited, there isn't much to see in all honesty. I've lost some pics during the work :(
After working on the interior over 18 months ago, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to try and work on the underside of the car. Clean up any rust and cut out areas that were really bad. So I made a crude frame that allowed me to get the car on it's side:

You know when you start something and really wish you hadn't? Well that was the situation with this task. What I thought would be relatively straight forward has turned into a nightmare. There was a lot more rust than expected and a lot more work involved. This is what's caused the delay. After patching up one area and then finding another larger bit really pissed me off and I soon lost patience with it.
Persistence is the name of the Nova game and I can almost see the light at the end of the 'underside tunnel'. I just need to patch up a few areas inside the offside rear arch, however this means flipping the car over first. Once that's sorted I've got some nice under seal to go on then I can get the car back on the deck and get on with the cage that's been sat against the wall for over 3 years!
it might seem like its taking forever mate but if you stop now you will wish you had finished it, bare with it it will get there in time
Looks like Marks roll over frame lol
Bloody hell, was only thinking if you still had this the other day, glad you still do, she's a survivor mate, most of us have scrapped an reshelled!
Keep motivated tho dude.

Hey Scott, long time no speak. It's been tempting to throw it on one of CP's bonfires, but for some reason I can't let go, lol. CP has been very kind in letting me keep it in his barn for so long, although he keeps eyeing it up every time he takes a trailer load of metal to the scrap yard, lol.
You'll go round one day and find a big block dropped in it! lol
