Nice work Rick. Was there much rust in the firewall ?

Pete

[Tommy]

Nice to see a full 'body off' restoration . Any major problems so far?

[freelandy]

Hi Pete the only two spots of rust one was behind the n/s rubber strip &the other one was driver side near the accelerator pedal.
Tommy there has not been many problems but if I did it again I would take a lot of pictures because I had trouble with the steering damper as it is not in any manual  the workshop was well looked after and just needs cleaning and painting so far 
cheers Rick

Hi John this is a before picture of the chassis after removing the old paint  I used three wire wheels for a grinder also 20 of those flap sanding wheels for the grinder and 4 litres of paint stripper and two weekends work and one trip to the hospital after a grinder mishap >:but after all the work I'm extremely pleased with the end result. cheers Rick

Ive opted to do the whole lot myself(ownership of pride).Im nearly finished sandblasting the chassis.Tommorow will be a good day as I should be able to finish chassis and diffs etc(wind direction dependant).Photos will go up once my son finishes his last exam and visits to see how Im spending his inheritance
