Just like all of the above I really appreciate the level of details you're sharing and glad to see the project is still underway.
I was wondering how you managed to get some of the rusted pieces re-created?
Like in this repair:

to this:


How are you reshapping the missing piece? How do you choose the metal? Just interested in the fab work



Your build kinda reminded me of this build rebuild from thai - If you have a few hours to read through the pieces he rebuilt are insane:

Just joined the forum and yours was the first thread i looked at... Your work is inspiration on a whole nother level!!
My car is farely new so hopefully wont need this treatment for a while yet, but the time and effort you put into this build has paid off big time is a credit to yourself. :-)
Got another project planned?

read all 7 pages of this build. almost surreal that you are no more then 15 minutes from my house. honestly, the work your doing is insane, wish i had these skills/time/money. keep it up man!!!!!

Thanks man where abouts are you?

OP, most of us here are ppl who like to take smth old and have our way with it, make it look and perform better than when it rolled off the factory. Rarely do we have enough time, resources and inspiration to do it right. This build is an inspiring example of saving something that otherwise would rot and disintegrate. Thank you.
If I were you, since you're rebuilding the body why not add some structural reinforcement to the body so it's more solid and there's less play?

It crossed my mind, other than stitching some welds so far I haven't thought about it much but like always its not in stone yet. I had some plans to fab up an X-brace for the back using the stock rear seat belt and rear bumper bolt locations so you can swap it in and out. We'll see what happens

dude you are my hero! i dream of one day being able to do half of the shit you do it's amazing

any (piktor)updates

this is brilliant

love the brown decision, would look the tits with the oem red pinstriping on the trim

if my car ever needs a rebuild im shipping it to you!

wow

Once again thanks everyone for the positive feedback, I was pretty sure everyone forgot about this build. I almost did . Having to move away for work back in September i'm never around to work on it and when I am I don't feel like working on it. Once this winter is over I plan to start plugging away at it and posting some fresh updates and pics.

99% sure ill be changing the colour...again haha suggestions always welcome.
