Was looking for something and came across this LinkyYou might have to click the "see more" button at bottom of the page That's sorting the rust! I would be a bit worried about it not coming out straight being balanced on 4 axle stands, but its a sunbeam and none of them are that square.... or have spot welds that were actually made.... |

Wow, took a while to get to it and wasn't sure what to expect after some of the slightly blingy cars on the front page but I see what you mean!

thanks Paul - way to pile on the guilt  afraid to tell you that my sunbeam has quite literally been pushed temporarily to the back of the list  apart the roof being cut and shut the lotus in the pics looks quite good before restoration as well! tbh i was initially horrified by its dismembering but it is probably easier to fix the rot spots properly. i would be scared of the shell ending up misaligned though  just noticed who posted the link - hey jono  good to see the progress on your morris build  until i get a chance to make some decent outer sills the sunbeam is in hibernation ( really i'm building some new dirt oval cars for next years race season - who knew i wanted to be a racing driver when i grew up  ) |
