Another update. I painted the firewall but was unsure where the subframe skirt wrapped around the firewall so will brush on some black later

I got that hoist from a Garage sale at a rest home. Very handy as it's not as cumbersome as an engine crane. My mate has lifted his "94 Road king with it. It also came with the sling that you put the person in for lifting.(But the missus isn't keen to try it out.)

I de- nibbed the black on the underside and applied Raptor, which went on nicely. And also applied some colour to the inside of the subframe and Fire wall. I'm going with " Kia Tomato Red " with a Mercedeces off white for the roof. I thought long and hard about keeping with the original Ca...

If I gave up this thing the call work, This car would of been finished years ago. Been on holiday for a month makes a difference. I managed to spray the gloss black where required.

Applied epoxy to the body also the doors ready to be done

Managed to get both 1/4's welded up.

Looking good, Your lucky to have so much room.

The photographer must be an FB enthusiast as he's taking a photo of it and not the pommie crap.

Going to keep this car original. Here's some pic's of the burnt car. I managed to save the subframe rails, Firewall, floor pans ,rear chassis rails and lots of smaller pieces. When the owner got the car back, he cut 12" approx off both sides and has made a wall hanging.

Hi Guy's, The only advantage of taking so long to restore a car is that you can accumulate a lot of nos parts. Have managed to find four new doors, a front suspension beam, windscreen, genuine rubbers ,hood lining plus much much more. I have dismantled thirteen of these cars over the years when I us...
