Had a look for the camera but I can't find it anywhere, been quite busy over the past few days. We've now taken out the fuel tank, bootlid and hinges, windscreen, pedal box, steering rack, steering column, carbs & air inlet, seats, centre console, and a few other things.
Every piece of chrome is now off the car and ready to go for rechroming and we have a fair few pieces ready to go for powder coating and a couple of buckets of nuts & bolts for zinc plating.
Bad news is that one of the main pipes on the engine frame is rusted through which we only found out when the carbs came off which means we need to replace the whole frame (for alignment of the chassis purposes)
Good news is that we only need to replace half of the boot floor as there was no rust under the fuel tank thankfully.
The plan over the next couple weeks is to crack on with restoring what we have taken off the car so far because the number of boxes has grown exponentially and we are going to forget what goes where if we don't sort them out. Doing a stock take tomorrow and deciding what new parts we need to order and what can be refurbished.
Once my dad finds the camera I'll be uploading a hell of a lot of pictures of progress.
