Funny when you start stripping a car how many faults and cover ups you find
Project well underway Now.
No Turning Back

good luck with it ,looks like ur gonna be busy......

[Rocky]

I've already got him working hard on it, will be totally stripped down in the next week or so to access the amount of work needed. Few bits have got to be put right before we start but most looks ok.

[Fieldy]

More trouble ahead  but Rocky is on top of it found some previous accident damage while stripping back the car.
Repaired before but badly
Also headliner is crap needs throwing in the nearest skip.
The more we go through this car the more we understand how sick she really was

True Redneck !

That looks like shotgun damage

[Rocky]

Been pulled out too far and skimmed with 1/2" of filler. Cars got to be perfect so has to be put right with no filler.

[CJ-IROCZ]

Wish I had the money to do what your doing to mine

[ianjpage]

oo bit of a nasty suprise, but least nothing you cant handle!

[FUBAR]

Wow who'd have known that was under there  that definatenly needs fixing properly so its with the right people

Hope all goes well.

[Rocky]

We knew something wasnt quite right before starting due the the odd shaped rear wheel arch but you always hope it isnt too bad.

[art b]

keep us posted folks....

[mike]

Rocky advised would be better to go for new rear fender panel.
As the less bondo the better.
Latest photos of new panel

[Gator]

looking good that looked like vandal damage

[Roadkill]

Definately looked like shotgun damage to me !

[mike]
