It doesn't look like the brakes were even touched during that expensive restoration! Look at all that rusting on the backplate and hub. You've got your work cut out for you, but the repairs to the front end and roof look like good quality. Good luck with the woodworking!

The roof repairs and what you have done up to now look great

looks like great dedicated work. Was the car outside/open to the elements from 1996 to when you got it?

sorry ive not posted ,the car was put under a tarp in 2001 and left outside till june2013 when I got it heres some more pics of the rebuild[frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]with one side of the wood and and all the screws that hold the wood to the b piller
have to be cut out and new captive nuts welded in and most of the wood now done then start to replace all breaking system[frame][/frame]
the last pic is my first moggy which I restored when I was 15 years old

a wee update well that's all the old captive nuts on the b piller cut out and now replaced with new captive nuts[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
so time to crack on with the wood and get it on

Great work so far, good luck with the rest of the restoration and keep us posted

It's past time companies were named and shamed.

I would certainly contact the company responsible

I wouldn't. The end result is awful, but nothing is going to change it.
A badly welded patch can be from any source - including the local MOT station and the bloke next door.

There's no definitive way of knowing who has done exactly what to the car in the last 30 years, and what was and wasn't asked for by the previous owner/s, so best not to point the blame stick, and would rather let people see the useful info like we had from the original poster.

The other lesson here is....
regular rust prevention treatment, clearing out mud from mud traps, making sure seams and windows dont leak, washing away winter salt and re-waxoiling when dry etc..

I would certainly contact the company responsible, requesting whether they find the standard
of renovation satisfactory.

You cannot say this.

I just got a reprimand for saying something less derogatory about whoever carried out this work initially..
