The bodywork is the major part of restoring and seems like it will never end but take heart, when its finaly painted its a major turning point particularly mentaly. Armed with a newfound confidence the reasssembly can take place, and in the excitement make sure not to rush this part.
Im looking forward to seeing the finished shell soon, cheers matt.

The joys of resemble after a few years in pieces. I have 2 brackets that were stored with crossmember bolts and bottom gussetts , but cant remeber where they go. If anyone could shed some light thanks.
