Well we pick up our story already in progress but I hope that by forcing myself to post some pictures I will be motivated to keep going.
I bought the car may years ago and have yet to truely enjoy it. I have started to restore it several times and always get distracted but this weekend the baby (and his mother) is out of town and we have a three day weekend so lets see how far I can get. Here is where we are starting this morning. |

The year so far has conspired against my car habit. This is the first weekend I have had to work on the car since March. I have opened up the rockers and found some rust (no surprise) but it doesn't seem as bad as I expected. It seems like there is some scale a little further forward but I'm hoping it isn;t as bas as it looks since I is hard to open that area up.

I'm always amazed when I see guys step out of their comfort zone and take on a complicated repair that they have no experience with.
These cars see alot of owners that would sit on the issue that you're up against and sell 5 years later feeling beaten. I think the ineternet and sites like 914World allow people to find their sows ear and turn it into that silk purse (I'm not saying your into purses). Guys like ScottyB, Sir Andy, Dr Evil are just a few of the mentors passing down the knowledge. whether you know it or not, you're inspiring others to step out of their comfort zone and wade into the rusty underworld . You're doing a great job, keep it going! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) SW |
