Okay so it hardly a ground up project but i thought this is the best place to put up some pics of what i have been doing recently and update in future as this car is a ongoing project.

After putting off rust repairs for a long time i finally did something about it and contacted Dan (glyzey) who put me on to his uncle Steve. Steve runs SSServices (0421013512) and specialises in restoring cars here in adelaide. Ill put up a few pics but im very happy with the quality of his work, the back of my car and boot finally line up as it did from factory with no bog, all metal as it should be.

Over the next couple of months the car will be heading to maddat to refine the front suspension to hopefully set it up better for the track so ill keep updating with pics as we go.

Before shot of dent, some of the rust and uneven boot spacing:

The center bit between lights is original, but the rest is made from scratch. It would have been easier if you could buy them.
