Over 30 patches welded and now firewall and cowl are ready.




I painted them with Por15 and hope they last next 36 years.  :)
Itīs great to put something back to the car...

GREAT NIKO  :worshippy

I made little progress on my restoration. Get the old torsionbar crossmember off the car



It was rusted out from the drivers side and old repair was warped.
Now the new crossmember is welded on the car.



Maybe next week i could put the front floor pans in the car.
