...everyone, fantastic forum you've all got going here 
...... bumpy rides an' all..... 
...
...o.k...so I've got myself an FB sedan to play with
...
plans so far are to leave the body basically stock...'though who wouldn't sacrifice a few extremities for something like Harko's , right ??? ...
...anyway, I figure one day there won't be too many of these babies around, so when I'm dead anyone could undo anything I do to it if they want. , 'cept maybe the chassis rails which at this stage will be welded in and the trans tunnel etc...
...yeah so here's a few pics as I picked the old girl up...
...got her home... put some mood music on...strictly rockabilly...
...and with a little coaxing got her down to her undies...
...not in bad shape for an old tart with the usual wear and tear + a little rust...
rear screen, left...
front screen, right...
somebodys dodgy "repairs" to bottom left A pillar will have to be cut out and done again...
same with both front floor pans...checker plate 
...
right sill also looks a bit suss but won't know 'til strip back...incidentally, I believe the car was sand blasted and primed at some stage, so should be easy to strip back ...
also, some clown went and cut a sunroof into it at some stage...faaaarrrrk...anyhow, have no intention to build a show car so after welding it's not dead straight, no biggy.
sub frame looks reeeaaal good...
and overall not too bad...
have already met several very, very cool guys and gals from this forum, swapping parts and wot not, and would like to thank them for thier help, advice and info so far ...
...yeah, so cheers and I hope to meet more of you guys real soon. Rob
