Glad to see I'm not the only daft person doing such things!
How far have you gents got to on your projects? I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to do the bodywork/trimming myself. But, once the body is off I shall start on the chassis and running gear. Whilst none of this is started, the things that are exercising my brain are suspension and engine refurbishment. Have either of you found any services that you could recommend? I'm not intending to do a full chassis strip down but rather to remove bits, get them sorted and sort out (wire brush and Hammerite) as I go.
I'm hoping to get this completed this year and then reunite the (immaculate!) chassis and body.
We will not mention the garden and other domestic projects.
Retirement eh! What larks!
