Well she is back home and the work has begun on piecing everything back together. The billet grill has a new home about 50mm further forward thanks to the intercooler which meant a little trimming to the grill moulds. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, just need to paint them tomorrow

Remember the pile of rust it once was? Should not take you too long to have it together.

Well done ..... :thumbs:

Yeah, I stumbled across a pic when there was no floor and rear quarters. Hard to believe how far we have come

More progress today, a couple of little hiccups with the grill mould being labelled wrong and having two RH then pulling the park lamps out of my parts box to find out they are for a 65 ?

Finally got around to fixing the upper control arms. The ones that came with the kit were rubbish using a swaybar bush and to make any adjustment was an ability pain. I machined up some sleeves last week and made up the arms today. Just have to press the new bush in and bolt them back up ?

This one shows the new vs old
