My very last restoration!!!

In the words of my wise old uncle Bill from Glasgow ' the only thing worse than gettin auld is no gettin auld'

I would just build her to new stock specs and use what you save to put a few extra gallons through her....mind you, Im a cruiser not a fighter so stock is more than enough fun for me. My days of thrashing cars are well and truly over but yours may not be

Yep I’m captain slow as well,
I think I’ll forget about the motor for a month or two
Concentrate on getting the body fully level and in epoxy
Once this is done I can pull it apart and start getting it ready for colour
To be honest I’ve been messing around with the motor as I’ve almost nothing at work at this time to get on with !

Well I’ve finally managed to fully align the front end metal,
Still got a few small tweaks to make but overall it’s pretty sharp,
I’m currently about 6 months behind schedule so looking very unlikely it’ll be done this year,
Ces’t la vie

[Steve]

Looks absolutely spot on....all that hard work was worth it.

[mygasser]

better to have it right than have it on time mate. you always do it right so.....

[Stu]

Looking excellent.

Virtually finished the gapping now , just the nose panel to finish off, this is being a right pain, stripped it twice and twice it’s moved and cracked after about a month?
Tried two different epoxy’s neither worked,
I’ve been trying to follow guidelines from the US but obviously I can’t get the particular type of epoxy recommended, so thought sod it and try the old way,

I’ve ordered a full replacement interior from Legendary,
Slightly premature I guess but took advantage of a sale this weekend,

So following a good old blocking session last Saturday I’ve actually now started the primer stage,
I’m trying out a new twist on 2k this is apparently a hybrid 2k and has some kind of epoxy additive so it dries with a proper sheen,
I guess in a decent workshop one probably would appreciate the shine as it highlights wobbly bits a tad better,
However it flats lovely dry long blocking with 240
Is fairly easy going,
