Right first off Hello
Names Will I own and run blastingdiepast which is a restoration company in Bristol, if you would like to see what we do please have a look either on Facebook... www.facebook.com/blastingdiepast or our website www.blastingdiepast.com anyway I'm not here to promote the business just to show you my own squareback project.
Here she is!
Found for sale on vzi in Gloucestershire by an owner who sadly didn't do it much in favour when they worked on it, mainly cutting panels and leaving it to rust.
Anyway a quick wash first!
Secondly I know it has issues, lots of seam sealer and pigeon welding on all repairs so there is only one way to go.
After a light strip down it's time to brace the shell.
Remove body from chassis
Blast everything
Now it's time to find or make panels, hopefully we can get some cuts but if not I have have a few tools to make what we need.
Sexy squareback!

Hello!
So here is what I have to deal with....
I love rust and rot... normally because it means work, on my own vehicles it's just more time to fix.
Rear valance is quite nice tho
Issues to come...
While removing the body the rear body to chassis mount was just full of rust so much you could not see the bolt......
