Stripped

Hey all, been a while since I updated this but its been pretty boring just dismantling everything. So far have stripped it down to the chassis and still have to remove the axles and brake lines. Pulled a lot of dirt from between the tank and frame but luckily just a bit of surface rust. I think the layer of clay on it protected it! Otherwise everyrhing looks pretty good and not a lot of work but who knows what may be under the paint. Once the chassis is absolutely bare I will cut off some of the mods the previous owner has added like battery mounts under the tray. Then I will strip and paint the chassis and start rebuilding!
Cheers for watching.

Split roof


Last night I succeeded in splitting the two parts of the roof. The rust isn't ridiculously bad and is all easily fixable but I'm glad I did this as there is quite a bit. Next job is to strip it of paint sand away the rust and prime it. Then I'll move onto the bonnet.
