The picture above shows where we are at, but it doesn't show the sweat and blood which went into getting to this stage. There is so much work involved to restore a car, think twice before starting something like this.

We have started restoring parts when we are not working on the shell. These parts are then bagged sealed and stored out of the way. Look like new ... try cleaning that while its still attached to the car.




 
We dropped the engine at last this will be in a slightly different spec and condition before it goes back in.


The gear box is going to be sand blasted and painted to give it that as new look. Another job for another time ... too busy with the shell at the moment.




 
The inner wings were a bit worse for wear around the top where the hinges and the outer wing joined ... so we go new ones. They are cheap but a big job to fit. Also you can see we took the front panel and subframe off and acquired new ford parts for those too.


Above no its not what you think as we replaced the inner wings we had to ensure it was all still true. So every other day we put into position our new panels and take a tape measure to it.




 
When we finished the front end we started on the chassis taking out the dead metal way passed any rot and putting in the replacement panel.

You can see the struts on the doors to maintain structural proportions while the inner and outer sills were off to give access to the floor pan. As usual we have new parts to replace all those which come off.


Above new floorpan panels, the one on the left is a new outer sill. Below is an inner wing.
