But not quite yet, it going in a carport that’s under construction, so that’s a good enough excuse. It’s now too cold to be doing actual bodywork but I can keep busy tidying up little leftovers from the ends of seasons past. I found the last 5 plug welds at the front of this rocker were left undone, so I’ve corrected that.
I’m sure I can find a few more holes in the car if I’m bored and want to go looking for trouble. Actually there’s a bit of firewall behind the passenger side front wheel that needs a patch. But the seasons have changed and that nice room temperature and above is gone for the year.

Quite frankly it is incredible how much better this thing looks now, then when you started showing it to us. It actually looks like a car now!

It was lovely day listening to my radio and grinding metal. This project was really harshing my buzz, but that marathon of getting my groove back got it over the hump. I f eel equal pride and shame about this car.

Don’t be ashamed. The starting point was so freaking horrible, very few would have been willing to take it on, and even fewer could get it in this good of condition.

Had to do some dirrrrty stuff, but I did it in actual metal. It was dirty or nothing.

Exactly. If it's dirty or nothing, dirty makes it a car again. That is nothing to be ashamed of. The alternative is scrapping it.

My dirty is a high standard of dirty, there’s always monofoam and bondo, but there wasn’t enough car left for that.
