So anyway... Long time has passed and I had done very little, lost the drive and almost sold it all.
Since I have rebound my passion and am well on the way to getting this bad boy back on the road.

I've got the new body stripped completely, painted the engine bay and front chassis with rust inhibiting black tar crap, and a few bits in the cab. The only rust is a tiny but in the fireway near the bonnet hinge passengers side and the floor pan passenger side. Very small bits and not much at all for such an old car. It has a little surface rust now from sitting around bare in the rain but that will all come off soon enough.

Cleaned up, painted all the suspension components and fitted them to the new body along with the locked 4.11 diff. This car is still regod so I don't need to go over the pits at this stage.

So now I have a bare rolling body, need to fit doors and tailgate for alignment then send her out to get cleaned up a few dings removed and painted!

I've also plasti dipped the cushion for the dash, I think it's come up good but I'm going to need to clear coat it aswell cause of the nature of plasti dip I don't want to install it then get a scratch and have the whole lot peeling off.

Ill try get some more pics and give you lot a look
