More Pics
Been busy since I got back from the Mopar Nats, did not get chance to speak to a few folk, was nice to take my son down to see the mopar action though!
So anyway back in Bahrain, been in the body shop, bare metalled the engine bay and primed her.
Removed the trunk floor and removed the quarter and wheel housing.
Going to spend the next 2 nights scraping all the old underseal off ready for welding in the floor and painting.
Wheel housing arrives anytime soon and we can fit the AMD 1/4's be interesting to see how they fit as all I have heard is folk moaning about the fitment.
The Jig pulled down the rear frame where it had gone up into the floor about 1.5"

Needed the chain and the ram pump to pull it straight it was pushed in quite a way.
Yes the whole body shop is AC, it gets into the 40-50's in the summer.
This is a nice time of the year it fluctuates between 18-25 now.
That floor jig thing was shipped in from the UK, its seen plenty of repairs, amazing how it works out where to pull down etc.
Found another charger out here in May for sale, give you an idea of the prices they fetch.. 1 BD (Bahraini Dinar) = about 1.60 Pounds.
I did not get chance to see it up close.
