Has been awhile but thought I would post a quick update, to say that that the project is still very much on track and all the body work is about 90% complete. Every single bit of rust has been cut out and either replaced with new panels or fabricated to fit. The list includes 4 x all new door skins, minor fabrication to the bonnet and boot lid, 4 x floor pans replaced with some minor mods to fit, rear beaver panel custom fabricated and both rear quarter panels replaced with new. The all important paint is next and have decided on a 2 pac Satellite Yellow and Grecian White :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I've completed all the underbody work now, seam sealed all the welds, blocked it all back, now all in high fill primer ready for paint.

Final door fitment in a couple of weeks then we should start to see some colour :-)
