Rear suspension being offered back to the body	.. another view of the rear going back in	Some of the many welded repairs required	Left hand rear sill end rotted away	New sill end welded in and seam sealed. Not finished yet!
Body on roll-over jig for underseal and cavity injection	Body underside being prepared. Note new suspensions in place - needed to allow connection of the roll-over jig	Underseal now renewed. This car will be going back to salty roads in Norway so we've applied doulbe thickness.	Engine fully rebuilt and with upgraded ignition system - yet to be mounted in the coolest place! Carburettors are only trial-fitted at this stage. They will be fully rebuilt.	This engine was very badly worn internally so the full rebuild has been worth it.
	Engine bay nearly ready for the engine. Just a few minor cosmetic items left	New carpets (selected to closely match the original weave) and leather going in
