Hello

Yesterday i was fighting with bolts mounting body on the frame. It wasn't easy considering amount of rust on them.. I had to cut off one of it. That was a good news   bad news is that : brake line nuts are  so rusty that its impossible to undo them. I will have to cut them off and make new copper brake lines. I will be changing rubber brake pipes so now i will have everything new   I disconnected everything in engine bay except steering column   i will not forget about it Rhanagar ! will do it rommotow



this one lost his head



this is how most of the things in this car looks like  



wooden stick is very helpful



without radiator



empty engine bay

I hope tomorrow i will end up with this part of restoration and i will start working with the frame

Thanks guys this pictures will stay forever !  

I had to move to my garage becuase its raining for 3 days now. I removed engine, geabox, power steering, exhaust and fuel tank. Now i only have to drop front and rear axle. The problem is that front axle screw are so fuc#in tight and rusty   i've lost a key already... i will have to cut them off but there is not enough of space   But i will do that somehow . Here You can see how it looks like right now.





i will have to replace this rusty tubes.

my neighbours already hate me after some serious hammering in the evening

[Mork_77]

I thought at first you would just be taking the bumpers off and painting them or something, taking the whole body off is crazy, definitely enjoying your updates.
And here is me putting off taking the rear bumper off incase I break something, haha.

Hats off to you Bunny

That is one full on project and big respect for taking on the challenge

Good Luck and we will be waiting for the next set of pics.

Jim.

If you are not careful there will be a queue of people wanting you to re-furbish their Troopers!
