This is so good in so many ways. Can you describe (year, model, engine, origin, cost, etc.) the car you are starting with?
well its approx 1980ish from the UK.....motor will be 1275 and as far as pricing goes....i cant go over that due to this being a custom bulid for a private customer............my goal is to do 3 a year, custom built......4-14-07 is day one of build .....i should have a bunch of pics by tonight........today is disassembly/body work and prep for paint
Hi Big norm,
We're watching your efforts with great anticipation. This is going to be a very interesting restoration, indeed. Thanks for sharing the photos and please keep them coming !

Is it really cost effective to restore that body? A new body shell seems to make sense when they're that bad. Or to my nubie mind it does.
well concidering that the whole front is being replaced with a front flip and and the cost of new panels is pretty minimal......yes it is better to fix what is there..........the only real rust issue's are: A-panels, floor panel, sills and the panel where the wheel arch's off the floor........the rest of the body is great........
