Been a while, no real updates, been sourcing body parts locally on the cheap. Got a few lined up but busy at the moment as moving into a new house in next few weeks so spoken to a company who can come pick the car up, do the body work for me with the parts i have got and will bring it back. So that will save me some time over the next month or so as no doubt i will have some work to do on the house as well.

fair enough mate, least you haven't given up on it. still waiting to here about my new one.

 

Slight bit of an update, got delivery on the parts i have bought and agreed with they guy to take the car near the end of march to do the work on the car for me replacing the panels. So hopefully by the end of march the car should have 2 new front wings, a new front panel and 2 new rear arches to go with the "white doors" getting less and less amethyst. ha. As long as its getting done and not going to set me back too much either.

Seems to keep being put back, i see how restos can keep going so long, just bought a new house and been spending all my spare time decorating there so had no time to work on car, why i havent been on here much. Then 2 weeks ago, head gasket went on my other car so had to spend escort savings on that which means its put back a month or so til saved up money again. Frustrating but with me conentrating on the house i havent had time to even think about it.

 

Seen a few more amethysts popping up, all in much better condition than mine though! :wow:

Hi Guys,

 

New to the site and introduced myself with a few pics of my car in that section of the forum but talking to a couple of people they asked me to put some pictures up in here monitoring my progress with my project...

 

Here are the origional photos that were taken before i bought the car for £130 (at the moment seems like a bargain):
