So it’s been about 4-1/2yrs since I drug the carcass of this car home.

  In that time I’ve replaced the ENTIRE trunk floor (including the tray between the wheel wells, the rear panel, all of the floor pans, both outer rockers, repaired both inner rockers, replaced the drivers frame rail, repaired the pass rail, removed and reattached the nose, replaced the majority of the firewall (including remaking the area around the heater box), swapped both doors, replaced the left A sheet and hinges. Replaced both wing sheets, and on and on. I am still going to replace the roof ( I have a good slick top on hand) as this one has too much seam rust around the sunroof for me to want to keep it. Lots of external rust repair still to do, but the main shell is now strong enough to be driven. All of the suspension has been gone through- new bushing though out, Bilstein sports and IE springs, 5spd trans, new clutch, 3.91 LSD, 292 cam, 38/38 carb, a header and ansa exhaust, fitted a full turbo aero kit and some killer compomotive wheels. The wiring harnesses have all been repaired and rewrapped. All of the lights and switches function as they should. 
 

It’s time to thrash it about for a bit before the weather turns and start back in on bodywork.
