It's been a while since i've posted any progress photo's, Just made a video last night of my progress up to date... ACDC/Grinspoon have helped me throught the build, so I included them also.
Ollie's LH video
Bought the 74 LH off the forum in 07 in purple, decided to give it a bare metal respray. First primer coat turned out rubbish, moved house and then redone the primer with a different paint supplier. Currently straightening panels and repairing some major bog covered dents in the metal. Aiming to have it done by Christmas... Again....

Gr8 job mate.
Isn't it awesome when you start putting it all together and you start seeing shape again.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments guys,
308 goes well... 175rwkW on gas, built by flowcraft.
When its finished, sorry, on the road, it'll be valencia orange with A9X blackouts. Can't wait...

I remember JNRATE car, saw it back in 2006, it was really rough and paint had no shine but with the gear that was in it was still good value. Hope to see some more progress update really soon.

Funny small world isn't it? I too looked at this when he was selling. The mechanicals were pretty much all new but I was looking for a good body to put my own drivetrain into.
