Not sure if I`d call this a hobby, a labour of love or just a pain in the ass.
Any way martin said he wanted to see some of this monstrosity.
Bought a classic car about 10 years ago & drove it around quite happily until the lady of the house said she didnt think much of the 5 different colours, so a respray was in order but I soon found out I didn`t have much metal to put the paint on so 6 years ago I started a restoration...bloody stupid idea that was. I have now replaced or repaired every panel on the car.

all panels now finished, all mechanical finished including diff, overdrive, gearbox.

Wowsers, Cheers Mitch..
She’s coming on great.
Have you rebuilt all the driveline yourself too or did you send it away?

I love to see old motors getting restored, it’s something I’ll do when I hit retirement age.
I’ve done plenty newer motors and had an odd one in Performance magazines too, but next time round it’ll be something with character rather than noise and speed.

Martin :cheers

Rebuilt the lot with my own fair hands Martin, not 100% happy with it cause can’t get shims for diff or gearbox so done what I can.
