It's about time! lol
Even tumbleweeds have regrown into beautiful plant life since the last update on this lol
So you girls wanted to see some progress, here is a sneak peak for you:
Bracing the front so we can fit the new chassis legs, front panel and inner wings without the trouble of not aligning...

Roof panel is cut out, A pillars will be cut out also, including roof support and the rear quarters will also be cut out up to the roof.

Again bracing the inside to stop the chassis from flexing:

More to come over the next weeks!
Oh and before you ask, the roof had too much rust in the inside where the sunroof cassette goes. Hence why we are cutting it out, also having new A pillars and rear quarters means he can cut out all the shit sections and use the original spots to weld the whole panels back on. In the end it's less work and gives a more smooth finish compared to cutting out sections and welding and prepping them.
Basically all the outer panels will come off to be replaced by NOS original GM panels I've been sourcing over the last 5-6 years.
Bloody hell your going to town on this.
Great to see the car is being saved. :thumb:
Cool now thats the proper way to fix the rust
Good man! Time for a nosey mate. Can't fault your meticulously planned restoration. Love it. 👍
