Chassie strip down,

Firstly I removed the engine and gearbox,

Here is a pic of the complete chassis/frame.

Firstly I positioned the axle stands to support the chassis.


Next I removed the wheels,


Completly removed and dismantled the front end,

A sot ot earth lead,hand brake cable mount and my foot :)

Woops! chassis slightly off balance,

Time to remove the diff,


Here is a pic of a frail trailing arm.


I didnt even try to remove this body mount bolt as the frame was so rotten the body lifted straight off it.


Finally the chassis is stripped of all parts,

I will dismantle the trailing arms at a later date,

Man this cross member sure does not want to come off without putting up a battle,


But I won the battle with a poter power.

Chassis inspection can begin.

I origionally bought this car to have for weekend driving and so on, I had in mind to tidy up the overall basic apperance starting with the interior then wheels etc; but once I started to remove certan parts I soon realised that this is going to need a little more than a tidy up,

Of course this being a blog page the most recent work I have done will be displayed first.
(a bit like reading a book from back to front really)

To the right there ia a Restoration Archive so you can select older posts from start to finish.
