Being computer illiterate I have finally worked out how to do this picture up load stuff, so attached are some pictures for your amusement


The first picture is the state of the LHS a-pillar when first found At this point I was almost thinking of scrapping the car, until a friend stated "What a bucket", hence the name :)

About 3/4 way through fixing it... Note new centre sill and front floor

RHS - yes somebody had pop rivetted not only patches but strengthening for the turret top - :shock:

Dang et al
I can put more on for "find the rust" as I am going along, or sort them for the technical section and send them to you rather than cluttering up the board, let me know

How long have you been doing the resurection/reconstruction work on the "dob" (dear o b...)? Where did you learn to do this?

Started October 2004 and been on and off ever since, working for a living, other cars to look after etc etc etc keep taking up time :roll:

Learn't by trial and error fixing cars over the years, no formal training, though my dad showed me the basics of car servicing when I was 13 - 14 years old
