Slow week.

Not much has happened this last week, however the drivers side front is now completely welded up, including new strut top panels. So just the passenger side to do, which has been getting cleaned up ready for some panels to be made and welded on. Then all that's left is the bonnet and doors but they can be done off the car.

Also, since all the welding is nearly done, I decided to get some paint bought. Went for a dark metallic purple; very similar to 'Ford Velvet Purple', only a bit darker.

I got some new parts delivered as well. Braided brake lines, new handbrake dust covers and four wide angle blue LED's for behind the dash dials.

 

Lastly, got the struts and shockers painted in 'Ford Tractor Blue'. The rear shockers have been bolted onto the car, which means the back end is definitely nearly done, and the front struts have been rebuilt with new shockers and springs, ready for when the engine bay is painted and the front axle can get bolted back on.

More stuff painted.

Got most of the front axle sprayed up today, just got the brake calipers, struts and shocks to do and the underneath will be completely done (as far as painting goes).

Most of the welding on the drivers side front has also been finished, so just the passenger side to finish, then repair the bonnet and doors and it'll be ready for paint preparation. 

Getting the paint this week so will make another post to show that.

Ruuuuuust.

Turned the car round now the back end is done. Started digging and found more rust and holes to sort...

Going to start tackling these areas within the next few weeks, then I've got the doors and bonnet to deal with and all the body work will be complete.

Also have to get a new windscreen as well, as the one that was in cracked as I was taking it out.
