Restoring Archie, my 4 door white saloon

Post by dave220452 »

Hello everyone,
I am currently restoring my saloon, Archie.
He is now proudly sitting in my garage waiting to be resprayed ...[frame]Image[/frame]
We have stripped him down so that he can be resprayed both inside and out.
We removed the engine ...[frame]Image[/frame]
Seats, headliner, lights and wiring have also been removed.
We finished the welding over the weekend and sprayed all underneath...[frame]Image[/frame]
More welding ...[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]
Also, new jacking points have been fitted and painted the same colour to fit in with the welding ...[frame]Image[/frame]
Just a few more bits and bobs to remove from Archie, then he will be going into the spray shop within the next 2 - 3 weeks for his makeover inside and out.
Hoping to add more pics as Archie comes to a full recovery.
:)
And a bit more welding to finish it off ...[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

Went to see Archie in the paint shop today, he has his first coat of primer on :)

Archie should be coming out of the paint shop soon :)
