Connor's Coronet 440

Heres the picts as promised.
Dads starting to think that weve bitten off more than we can chew every time we cut out one of the panels he will say "what are we doing" but im determind not to give up on it.

We got a good deal on the new pannels from six pack speed shop, and when they arrived it gave us a good feeling to think that we would be putting things bak on the car soon but first we had to cut out the old stuff.

We have started welding up the front wings and dad thought hed have a go at lead loading because the man made it look easy at the NEC. But as always we found out it is not always as easy as it looks. But as the pictures show it didnt turn out that bad.

Heres the latest lot of pictures and we've added some words to each one.

Great work but,don't be tempted to glue in your floors and want to put it on the road with MOT.Welding only in the UK.

I didn't know that Steve. Composite panels are pretty common in new cars these days, like the roof on the 3 series BMW CSL for instance. How do they attach them, or are there specific rules for floorpans ?

Hi, thanks for the positive comments.

Mo its gunna be a bit of a custom, paint will be be slightly differant from B5, new wheels, 440

instead of a 318, and I might decide to turn it into a clone but that depends.
