You get an extra ten brownie points from me for accurately describing it as a restoration /rebuild.
I am heartily tired of some who say they are restoring a car, but they are fitting some entirely diferent engine, trans, suspension etc. etc.
A "restoration" is when one refits all the original mistakes into the car.
What you seem to be doing is taking advantage of some better technology [the wheels /tyres] on a basicly stock car, & that's what i like to see.

It's looking bloody good from where i sit.

What is everything?
You gotta love wagons,
Looks like you have put a lot of work into it and the results are showing even at this stage.
Its good to see your painter understands the purpose of using different shades of primer.

hi how are you?
I just love the look of the sunny wagons, especially the rear end.
Yours is looking mighty fine, I love the yellow paint.
Is that an A12 motor, or one of the bigger brothers?

GO THE DATTO!

It should have come originally with an A14.

Thanks for the pics. It's nice to see someone going all out on a B310 (and the early ones with the round headlights is a plus). Keep us updated - I'd love to see the finished project.

Nice job, looks like you've spent quite a bit of time getting things just how you want them. Home it turns out exactly how you want it too
