Just like an old soldier with a leg blown off you dont put him down, he is a survivor and deserves a break for the rest of his life.

Oh well.... some one has to save it from the crusher!

Its been under my house for the last 4 years and now is the time to start a restoration.
When I purchased it in 2007 the last rego paper was 1994 the last owner had.
This will keep me busy for a long time so I will do it in stages.

Im a little way into it now so i will put a few pics up to show the restoration.
The Boot lid was first Paint striped, repaired and then I found a better one and swapped it.

Paint stripped it all again and a few minor repairs needed before putting it under Epoxy.





Drivers door next It appears to have opened to wide and dented the skin big time so it was previously fill with filler .
Rust in the usual places in the door.





Right front guard next.
