Great commitment Dave, credit to yourself. On a bad day some of us can't be bothered to walk out to the garage. Good luck

Looking forward to seeing the work done. If your last trip was anything to go by, the car should be pretty much done now

Long way off yet Chris ,1 week a year makes for sloooow progress

Update time
I arrived last Thursday morning so after unloading the car I went to see the Charger, opened the pygmy door on the side of the garage and...



So first job clear around it and empty the inside which was bags and bags of shredded paper, bedding for the chickens apparently

Friday morning up to my brothers and pick up the welder
Back to the Charger and make a start, first job finish the offside inner wing





A little repair to the underside of the windscreen post





And then one of the more involved jobs













Today being the Sabbath up here it was a slower start to the day with not wanting to make too much noise early on.... then the wind and rain started which muffle's the sound couple of small tidy ups then moved around to the nearside and finished the inner wing





Now I'm onto the nearside A-post, so more to follow next week

Progress is progress Dave. Keep it going!

it is getting done, and that's what matters Dave, good work

Great stuff, keep the pics coming

Sorry bit latter than I thought but after working on the Charger during the day last week the evening's were spent helping my brother on his Victor so never got a chance for posting an update.
Back home now so time for some more pics,





(mmmm looks like I uploaded the wrong size ooops)





N/S top corner not as bad





O/S Quarter window though...









Now to share the top half with you all















N/S more of the same,













And that at lunchtime Friday was it for bodywork this year as things took an unexpected change.........



Need to make a brew before carrying on

Hats off to you sir !!!
You ain't scared of a bit of rot !!!

Great work , and a great thread to follow
Nice one

Righto this is how I left the garage on Sunday night that has been the Chargers home for some 16yrs



Reason being my brother hinted Tuesday he might finally have the Charger up at his, I never pushed him further on it.

Then late Friday morning he phoned, he'd arranged for a recovery truck

So mad tidy up, get wheels on and inflated and....

Get the old girl outside





Sure enough the truck arrived, ironically it's a Dyson Hydra!oader a vehicle I built here in the Midlands









Saturday was spent positioning the car, jacking up and removing the rear suspension







so that's it for now, a bit of progress that was in a way more than I expected, I happy with the week.

Good sheet metal work Dave

You don't scare easy !

Cheers

Well I think the plan is and what I suggested, he does a bit more on his own project which has only just returned to sitting on its wheels since 2011, wiring, brakes etc.
Which will give me time to finish the O/S door and get some overtime in to fund another trip north with the panels I have here, hopefully towards the end of the year.

That's some dedicated work there Dave

This restoration is in a league of its own Such incredible dedication and metal work Dave.

I love catching up on your progress, very inspiring

Cheers for posting

Hi folks, time for a little update. I borrowed a steering wheel puller from Dave Tildsley (must return that) cheers Dave and stripped the column for a well needed rebuild and freshen up. Parking brake and peddle box were also freshened as well. Recently I've just finished rebuilding the door hinges.
Photo time



Top bearing had a small crack so a replacement was sourced and fitted













Door hinges were in a poor condition



Including the O/s only having half a thingy whatsit
