You really are going to have a new 'old' car when you finish

[ciaoflyer]

after some

cuting



testing



and welding

[MeelisV]

not much done
little more from engine



nothing from bodywork
its winter and there was cold
hope that in this weekend there is time to make some progress with car

helpful garage made the kingpin renewal - now there is only little welding, paint, undercoat and assemble front axle and steering.

[MeelisV]

piece by piece

front end - under body welding is done
coated with Dinitrol ML
assembled steering with new rods/ends
new brake bads and sylinders

[GTMaster]

Get a lot of that undercoating and underseal stuff on to it as you wouldn't want rust coming through soon after so much work 

[MeelisV]

some news in pictures
