Here’s a job I’ve been looking forward to, and one that has to be done before I start prepping the bodyshell for paint. This modification is definitely a bit of an extravagance, but it’s all part of my master plan…
Having spent what feels like months replacing both front inner wings with shiny new panels, it’s now time for a little job I’ve been a bit nervous about undertaking. As part of my V8 conversion project, I will be fitting…
In amongst the bigger jobs covered in my last few posts, there have been a few other miscellaneous welding jobs to take care of on the underside of the shell, so I’m just collecting them together here. With both floorpans…
