Nice one Matt, sounding good!

Good old Rob, you love taking cars apart really, you could do it 365 days a year!!

Popped out this morning to take a couple of pictures of what I've done so far and of the garage. We are going to be getting a ramp out there but I couldn't wait to start so got to do it on axle stands. I took the pictures on my phone so not the best. Oh being hungover and taking pictures doesn't mix either..ha

From the pics it doesnt actually look that bad underneath for the age of car.

Well the car is all sorted and will be back on the road on the 1st of may. The underneath wasn't that bad at all but it is now as close to 100% as you can be without replaceing everything with new bits.

All the suspension bits that could be powder coated have been and everything else has been bead blasted and painted by hand. I have fitted all new bushes through out the car so should ride nicely. Its had new brake lines and a new engine mount as I found the one under the manifold had gone (100 bloody quid + vat). Front calipers have been rebuilt and new wheel bearings fitted all round. I have re-undersealed the car so should keep the rust well away. I think I have forgotten some of bits I have done but you get the idea of what I have had to do.

Only a couple more issues to sort over the next few months and it will all be done but it is now time to enjoy it a bit. I'll take some photo's tomorrow of it all complete and I think I have some more of it half back together somewhere.
