White? Hmmm, could be interesting. Whatabout just spraying the roof white? See how it looks, see if you could live with it. Then vinyl it. I think painting it would actually look nicer.

Did think that was the way to go 1st Ken

Thinking more about it, wouldn't white vinyl be a pain in the rear to keep clean?

Swaying towards Tan think it will look cool

Most of the inner front end needs replacing im off work next week
coming Hatton Sunday then drilling out all the spot welds on the front I think I need help to identify the parts I need.

Those light surrounds in the pic with the blue paint still on, the inner light retainers (cup @ the back of the lights think rimmers sell a plastic replacment?)
and all the inner front end also I have to repair one leg or replace that as well
busy week hope the rain keeps away and were in business, currently doing it on a private road @ the back of mine then going to move her to my dads garage for the winter.

Update

Keeping up with the restro pic's today I took the front end off and grinded down the inner valance.
The end panels and eyebrows have totally gone so id better get my money out the bank the end of the month and get the front looking cool.
this has to be the hardest job iv done 1000's of spot welds some wired shape so have gone through onto the inner valance that will need patching up before I can weld the front end back, talking about the front end that’s not 100% but salvageable I think!!

What have i took on? never worked this hard in my life i just keep thinking she's gona look awesome when iv done.

Do you want to do mine when you finish yours next week?

I cannot believe how quickly you are sorting that car out. Top effort!

Had quite a bit of time off work thats helped and i want to do as much as i can while the weather is ok because i dont have a garage

Could this be of any use to you?

It is genuine Stanpart (the top half has been cut off). The paint splashes are just that and nothing to worry about.

Stripped out ready for paint prep and welding.

Not looking bad at all. You're still making monumental progress

Keep up the good work.

Ken

Not much done over this weekend chilled out a bit but have took out the petrol tank cleaned it back to metal with wire wool wheel on a drill looks good enough to eat off now.
