The Dark Wob

Fuckin ell Jo, that looks a bit of alright! Very nice and it looks a million times better than it used to in that old black.
You must be very happy with how it’s turned out.

More pics please!

Will post a bit more once ive recovered its been a bit non stop!

interior is still a bit Shabby Chic but my next plans will be sorting the interior floor by rust treatment (yes it does have a little) but its dry Cali surface rust so treat and paint then new sound deadening then Carpet and headlining then its going to be a constant tracking down of trim pieces until everything is just about right

It finally has new door rubbers fitted! But you now have to slam the doors though theres now a lot less rattle

I think once the floorpan has been painted I will be at the point where its a really clean car to work on

Whereas up to now its been a Mucky Pup

Paint aint perfect but I never wanted it to be.

Theres planty of lacquer on it but being solvent paint the paint wants to let it settle and in a few weeks will wetsand and buff it

Thats included in the cost of just £1000 all in to do panel beating and paint it which is cheap thesedays.

Theres a few runs and sags in the lacquer but once hard these will be wetsanded out but in the meantime I am more than happy to drive it as it is!

So yeh got a show today,a meet tomorrow but next week ill upload some more pics

Thanks for all the nice comments

End of an ear of calling the car shitey as he is no longer that shite!

Sam has started calling him "Shiney"

I'll be honest, I clicked on the thread and saw the picture and thought it was a spot of another Mustang II!

It's looking great, and hopefully now you can enjoy the car you've always wanted.

Heres some Prequal Photos

First the valance was hanging so i decided to repair it with Plastic Welding,Mesh,Glassfibre,Bumper Filler and a splattering of "Theres no way im paying $150 for a better used one













No filling pics but you get the general idea

Fresh out of the booth

Theres a few sags and runs but he has put more than enough paint on and the car will be making the trip back to be wet sanded and machine polished in a month once the paint is harder

Suits the shape well,that shade. Lovely.

After forever I finally found out today what was causing my vibration!
Its an out of true wheel

It was really hard to spot but once spotted you cant unsee it.

I was getting new wheels this year for it but as its coming to that time of year when its time for its hibernation I decided to wait until the new year.

Thing is I now need an odd spare 13" Steel,Ive seen sets for £100ish but what the point when they are going in the new year?

Dont suppose theres anybody here got a Spare old ford steelie thats not buckled?

Sods law thought id swap it for the spare,thats buckled too!
