Here's a quick pic of our new baby, it's a '69 Deluxe Tintop imported from OZ a few years ago.

The worst of the rot seems to be on the passenger side.

I'll post more pics at the weekend.... the grinders already been out and OMG the thickness of filler on the N/S bottom rear is scaring me! :shock:
 
Time for an update! past due I think!

We didn't take pics of every single repair :shock: a lot have been duplicates of the passenger side repairs in the following pics.

It's been a while getting to this stage due to weather up her in sunny West coast Scotland over the past 2 years and doing it all on the drive.

Not as solid as we thought :shock: :shock:
