this is really coming along nicely, looked like a really good car to start with. Good job you caught that rot before it got out of hand.

 

Cheers for the pointers on P.F btw but the welder is going to respray mine for me aswell so i cant go wrong really.

 

Keep up the good work will love to see this when its done.
