Yeah but I built it like so over the top I could put a tank on it
so when I am finished some one else can use it..plus this resto's almost about to celibrate it's 10th year!!!
should make the job easy, these summer afternoons have got me back out there.. I just bashed the pass door into shape, as it was well bashed in.. just going easy not hitting it cold, but warming up the panels with the hot air gun till it's smoking and then bumping it back to shape.. the doors 110% improvement from when I started.. I almost thought hmm it's a write off but it's coming back slowly, will never be perfect but with time and some filler it will be..
leaving it for now.. but looking to weld the pass floor back into morrow..
where did all this 356 enthusiasm come from.... i think from seeing yours come togeather so quickly!!

Is the 5mph sign as fast as it can go when you are pushing it out the garage
Good to see work back in progress

i knew some one would say some thing about that.. no it's how fast I am alowed to work on it.. hence 9 years later it's in bits still
It was left over from a huge auction of parts from a London Auction it's just for decor but makes a great filler mixing plate!!!
on the reverse...

I'm planning to learn welding all over again next week... I've just ordered a new welder and gas bottle. My first practice will be a foot long butt weld on my rear quarter. What could possibly go wrong

Well done Mark
I hope you got lots done before the rain arrives this morning?
Hopefully I will be able to pop down soon in the 356 to take a look at the progress.
Keep up the good work, now that you have started you must not stop until finished!
Regards Jeremy

you can see the car this time. Rather than it all stacked up.. I had a HUGE clear out of stuff from the car port so lots of room
