I managed to get the whole album, and I'm a bit worried by what happens from here:



to here



Because it looks like you've put the rusty inner wing back on. There will be rust on the suspension turret base, at the bottom of the inner wing where it meets the chassis rail, and the leading edge behind the headlights, and it doesn't look like you've dealt with any of that.

If you've put that rusty section in, then it'll rust out in months. If you've replaced it with fresh metal but not removed the rust from the surrounding places, it'll go back very quickly. But good work putting on that outer flitch:



I did the same repairs on my resto, so I know how difficult it is!

Wow that is foooked ! There appears to be evidence of a nasty front ender as well. Is the car straight ? Unless is is something special, that looks like one for our Chinese friends .

To post images on here from your phtotbucket account, copy the IMG code, the las of the 4 links in the box.

Foook me that needs weighing in fast before it becomes so light its worthless

Or in simple terms:

Find the pic you want on Photobucket
Look at the "Links" box on the right
Where it says "Direct Link", click on the code that starts "http://"
It should now say copied
Go to the Zone, type [img]
then press Ctrl + V to paste the code
then type [/img]

Your picture will now load.

So did you replace all of that inner wing, the flat metal part that runs from the scuttle to the headlight? And for your floor repairs, it looks like you haven't cut away nearly enough of the rot going up the bulkhead. Did you do the work yourself?

Wrong, that's the long way!!
Just do as I said, all you have to do it click on the last IMG box, it says "Copied", come back on here and paste.
The link automatically inserts the "[img]" tags round the picture.

I replaced from the scuttle across to where the slam panel is , I've checked that the wing aligned up to the car right . As for the floor repair I ended up cutting up as high as I could in the footwell back to clean metal I didn't get pics of this but there's no rust in the footwell anymore. I've already repaired the worst part and have nearly sorted out the inner wing situation seems a waste to scrap the car as I picked it up for scrap value it it's something to learn on
