Very nice, and seriously impressive work there!
I like the plan for the wheels - are you going for the perforated Frogeye type steels, or the later plain ones?

Cheers buddy! Yeah, the Frogeye type with the holes in, and some big shiny hub caps..

Top notch! Love the fact you've unstitched/drilled out plug welds to remove bits like the bulkhead section so that when the new one goes on it all looks kinda factory. Excellent stuff

That is very nice, some quality fabbing skills there, like it. Tidy-looking 405 you've got as well

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

Whoop indeed! I'm not a huge fan of Rostyles generally. I reckon that would look super cool on these wheels I saw last night. I think they're re-rimmed Sprite ones.

Not sure how I missed this one so far - amazing dedication to getting her sorted out and serious skills on show. Top class work and the results speak for themselves. I took a similar approach and let heart rule head with my Triumph - but I won't regret it and I'm sure you're too busy grinning with that little beauty sitting in the garage ;D

Ooohhh!! That's lovely and a real tale of perseverance when it would have been so easy to frag it. Quality work on a quality car, love 'em!

Lovely colour, looks like you did a great job on the panel work, very smooth

Car looks great - looks like load of rot had to come out first. Excellent work. I recognise this I have an A30 dash providing dutiful services elsewhere
