Got a jig set up & the car mounted, ready to bare metal underneath & make a start on the sills etc.

Big job done today getting the body off, no evidence of chassis rot just some surface rust to wire wheel.

Top & sides of the rear window done.

Has anyone replaced the chrome trim studs in the rear window? Ill have to cut a few of mine out.

Rear pillar repairs done after work this week, happy with how this turned out considering the curves involved.

New sills arrived today - they look spot on after a quick mock fit.

First of the rear pillars done - the other side is much worse sadly.

Took a break from the front end to tackle the roof. Rear pillars next.

Really taking shape now - the bumper, grille & bonnet chrome are only mock fitted, next jobs are to finalise them, along with welding to the drivers side wing & a pillar.

Defiinity a motivation boost seeing it like this

Wing mock fiitted ready for some rust repairs

Bulkhead repairs are underway..

Been a while since I've updated this one, a mixture of the R34 stagea build, moving house & uninteresting progress, but finally something worth sharing - finally got the whole shell bare metalled and into primer.

Todays delivery from @sheepers The crowns been neglected while I've built an R34 Stagea, but I should be back on the crown soon.

Boot floor treated with hydrate 80 where necessary, and now in primer.

Busy week last week - paint stripping complete on the roof and passenger side: Boot floor shotblasted: Rear quarter repair improvements started:

More paint stripping - the bonnet is like new which is a win. Almost looks like its starting to take shape.

Is there a better feeling than uncovering clean metal?

Found this repair today - half of a rear quarter. What would you guys recommend doing with this? Nothing? Cut out the join to do a proper butt welded join? The chances of finding a full panel are zero id imagine.

Had a break from the back panel this weekend - boot lid and rear quarter took back to bare metal, surprisingly good condition apart from some holes from the spoiler, and previous repairs.

More back panel progress this weekend.

Boot floor, light cluster and fuel filler turret just about finished off. Slow progress with it being made up of fairly complex shapes.

Made a start cutting the rust out of the back panel, ended up with some dramatic holes, but made a decent start on the drivers side.
