For Rob, this doesn't look like much of a challenge 馃槀

Good score Rob.

How did you get it off the trailer? Or is it still on there?

Looks like a big project!

Kuchster 路

And it's started. Don't do it to yourself they say..


















Beam is out, plenty of dirt, shift rod removal is always fun..


Time to get it onto the hoops and rolling around.
Plans - Paint it.. (Just kidding). Bit of rust to fix around the place, king link pin front, swing axle rear, bit of chrome, increased hp and braking, registered by christmas?

BrisDubba 路

Sweet, am looking forward to watching another of your projects, even though you make me feel guilty for the lack of progress on my toys

"If I had this project in my garage, I would come out, look at it, cry, and then go back inside"

Bit of body stretching to get the wheel arch back into position


Found a bit more rust in the chassis




Started making some panels

Kuchster 路





"You're really gonna need a new wheel arch"


Why? Whats wrong with this one?


Bit of a patch in the side panel. Don't want to replace the side panel, keeping the history
