Well, some decent work has at last started on the 325!

Firstly, I had to change all the brakes, including discs, pds, handbrake cable and fluid as the old ones were fooked.

Now, she's in the middle of having all the rust taken out and being prayed up, heres some piccies to feast you eyes over!

She's getting there.....

First day, just got her home in the pouring rain!....

And tomorrow...prime the doors and drivers rear arch.

Just need to wait for two new wings and the passenger rear arch to be welded in and she'll be ready for paint.

All being well, should be ready for the road again by mid july

i'm doing all the work except the actual apraying of the colour and laquering myself. I got a mate in the trade who owes me a favour, so just as well get him to get it done.

Everything else is down to me, need to save money on it really.

Cheers for the dribbling ;-)
