Hi All,
New to this forum been working on this car all summer with my farther in law and we are now nearly ready to reassemble, I will try to update with some pictures later this week.
When my dad got this car he said it had a little rust which was handy cos he can’t weld, but then he got a screwdriver and a grinder out! Well it’s lucky for him that I can weld because I’ve had a lot of practice over the summer! I have replaced, both rear ¼’s skins, tubs & drop offs, 1 new door, 1 repaired we’ve patched the floors, sill ends, both bottoms of the wings, boot lid, new back panel, both top ends of the dash at the pillars and the rad panel.
He left it in the garden last winter and got a bad back and froze the engine too, which is a shame as it used to run nice, surprising as when stripped it was knackered too!
We now have the car back together and mostly primed, Want to re assemble the clip and get this gaps right before it goes to paint, not sure if we should fit the new engine then paint or leave it out? Been struggling with the door latch for a while too, we have fitted new hinge pins and align the door real nice, it fits a treat but sometimes when we close it that’s your lot the latch drops over and the only way to free it is to slacken the hinge and start again
Also the bonnet hinges are frustrating too, but I think one of them is knackered as its real loose!
