Thanks Finky.
Not quite.. i just want it to look original, but with a difference if you know what i mean 
So i can say "just bought it off an old granny, and cleaned it up a bit"

Sorry, its been a while...
First i had bought some repair panels.
The passenger heater channel will be returned and a whole new channel will be bought.
I also cleaned up the rust on my passenger guard, and from a donor guard i got from 'bushed' i made up a repair piece and rust treated it ready for
welding.

I also bought some A Pillar repair panels that came from the UK. They are far superior to the cheap Chinese rubbish that can be easily sourced.
Then i purchased a better sway bar for the front beam. I am currently in the process of painting it black.

Bought some white-walls and cleaned them up and they look new
I now have the shell on a frame so it is now nice and solid to work on.
I cleaned back the front apron to bar metal so i can get to the rust down the sides...
I cleaned up the rust on the rear inner guard then with a bit of messy painting i managed to blend it all in - you can see where i was doing it by
looking at the zinc'd sections...
That'll do for now

Coming along nicely mate.
I used the same front heater channel sections for mine, not sure what you think, but mine were a bit "off" and it took a lot of cutting, bending and
swearing to get mine into a semblance of order..
Go easy when you weld them in, they are much thinner and will blow through when welding if your not careful, or if you have a cheap arse mig with
bugger all control like me.

Originally i though i had ordered BLACK paint, but it turned out GREY. Thats ok, i will use this to my advantage. You will see how it tuns out soon
