Good stuff Dave, looks like you have got things well planned out. :thumbright:
Any details on your brothers Victor project, out of interest?

Hopefully it will come together :)
my brothers project is a 1977 Victor FE VX2300 which he plans on completing in a Hotrod/Drag style, and has sourced a 3.9ltr Rover V8, 5 speed box and narrowed BMW 320 axle for it :)
He's finished the welding repairs in the bodyshell which is now ready for prepping and paint...just that rice burner to get out of the way so he can paint his and start on mine :lol:

Fair play for undertaking such a project. Keep up the great work!

That '91 GTO looks very sweet, too!

Cheers mate :)

the riceburner has its MOT and has now vacated my brothers garage, which means the Charger is now 1 more step closer to its slot in there :thumbright:

Hi all, been a while since I did anything, since returning from Scotland the garage has been pretty useless for working in...as to keep herself happy it was turned into a storage space for a new kitchen which I've spent the last few months fitting.
Anyhow with that all finished save for a touch up of the door frames I got back to the cave, had a tidy up and got the fenders out of the shed for a look over. The o/s has more rust than the n/s but otherwise they are both reasonably solid :thumbright:
Also got to decide what to do with the instrument surround as it was hacked for a stereo before I bought it and badly painted :roll:

The Fenders look pretty good, I am sure I have used worse!

looks solid from the photos, just a good clean (sand blast) then use.

They have been patched in the past but whoever did them seems to have done it properly.

15 years ago you could only have dreamed about getting new components like that!

Nice work. How's the body work coming on?

Unfortunately Miles it hasn't, fenders have be derusted, primed and the doors stripped down.
Taking a trip up north Aug/Sept just by myself to have a good week working on it without any family distractions hopefully then we can get some good progress.
