more randoms

engine lid was mint but warped, possibly off a fire damaged bus, nice and straight now though

another window out and NO RUST

the old electrical hook up socket is probably on Matts workshop floor now

nearly ready for primer

More photos on their way

The rear valance had a dent in it so Matt drilled a hole in the back and beat the dent out then filled.

the back end looking a bit more......together now

These photos were from around xmas time so hopefully have some more soon.

cracking workmanship, keep the pics coming

this is what i love about restoration theads, the different way ppl approach repairs etc such as front panel replacements and sills etc, sometimes only slightly different techniques but makes you think which the easiest and less hassle etc

 

[Rexer]

I agree, the way mine was thought out was to keep as much original metal as possible, the way i see it its been on there for 39 years so if it aint fell off yet it aint gona lol
