Dusty's winter project was supposed to be decorating the Hall, Stair & landing :lol: I dont think so......

Last year I was sucessful in repainting underneath and inside the trunk, installing new fuel cell, fuel line, rear axle & suspension rebuild, interior alterations, 4 speed to auto conversion, general weight loss & the list goes on :roll:

This year we are concerntrating on the front end, with the motor out, and body stripped I am planning the repaint the front end, carry out some engine mods, rebuild the front suspension & steering.

Update to follow :thumbright:

Thanks :thumbright:

There was a whole load of underseal under the fenders that has kept things in order - and a whole load of Genuine Arizona Sand :lol:

My ability & facilities wont allow for a 'top-notch' concours job, but I am hoping for a decent result!
