slowburn

made some progress, have cut everything needed off the blue shell ready to be vapour blasted and trimmed to stitch onto the red one....will be a whole solid shell again....

Here's some pics of the blue one. I will likely take the front clip, boot lid and rear guard cuts from this one to finish the red one

I'll take some pics of the blue one tomorrow as its under a tarp in the drive way here....basically the blue one if gonna give up some cuts to finish the red one...the blue one at first glance looks like a better option, but it has a hack job sunroof cut into it and it is a bad fitment of the glass and sunroof surround....also, every panel has some fixes needed. and the floors are shot and the windows apertures are all in need of fixes and the guards aren't the best. it does have a full interior, and gearbox and engine and all the bits needed to get one car sorted. I also have a swag of trim parts and odds and ends and sets of lights and brakes and a reconditioned 1608 to go in....I know it looks bad, and it is, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

top of the trailing arm mount....can't wait to get this thing in one piece.....I have lots of parts to go on this thing and reg on hold....may take some time but it will be a nice car again

I will go back out to my lock up and take some more pics of what's left to do...."heaps" the bottom of the A pillars, the back of the rear guards and the front clip.....more on that shortly...I'll try and post more regularly....

and then the front by the jacking point and some more from inside...

along the sill towards the front from underneath and side

the underneath of the trailing arm mount fixed

more pics showing the repairs from the inside...and the whole length from the outside
