Project now started

Only Darren could put the pics upside down lol here we have a rust panel on the firewall which I cut out and replaced . Front brakes stripped clean and painted both of them were stuck on. Also have had to buy new front springs after cleaning the pass side up and one of the coils had gone down to half it thickness RA car is almost ready to have the front put back on :) then start on the back happy Xmas all
 
Wow you have been busy. Its looking very good. Keep up the good work, at least you know everything is solid when you put it back together. Its great to see the progress.
 
Update on TA just waiting for some parts to turn up then I should be able to re fit the front wing and front clip back on. Car has had all the front bushes done now and the front brakes stripped and re built and is back on all four wheels lol it might even stop now :)

The yellow 76 did come from the Bogner region. Then owned by Kevin Chambers. He probably still owns it - he swore he always would.
 
Update ,




Let chris fill in the update progress,
 
Hi all car is coming on been doing lots of cleaning and painting new front springs fitted all front end bushes now fitted had a repair to do to the front core panel and paint fitted front bumper brackets( car didn't have them when I got it)lol front wings have been sprayed inside just got to line it all up now lol fingers cross
 
Really looking forward to seeing it again. Do you have a target finish date? will it be ready for the Season opener towards the end of April?
 
Hi dan thanks for the comments yes starting to come back together hoping to get it back together and on the road for the season opener but still have a fair bit to do in between work and kids etc so fingers crossed . Looking forward to starting it up as I haven't had it running since before Xmas funny how you can miss the sound of a v8 lol
 
Make a video of when you start it up, you will be amazed how you go back to watching the vid years to come.
I made a video of when I first started the car up after the heads and cam swap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAkooSvpk-4
 
ob boy - I remember having a 2nd gen stripped down like that. The panel alignment afterwards was a nightmare.
Lots of fun though - I still remember my first run after getting it back together and breaking in the new cam, what a blast!
 
Hi all just to up date you all the car is almost back together lol wings and bonnet back on wiring all pluged back in just got to re check I've done up all the bolts lol only thing that might be a pain is the front ride hight with the new springs looking at the mo abit high good for off roading lol but not the look I'm after have had it up and running :) going to bleed the front brakes tomorrow night fingers cross drive it out of workshop over the weekend hopefully the front end will drop down about 3" thanks all will get some more pics on here :)

Hows the ride height looking now the car has sat on them for a bit?
 
update photo's from chris,



 
Looks pretty must complete, is it running well?
I see what you men about the ride height, look normal at the back, high at the front. Doesn't look bad though. I bet you are eager to get back in it for a blast down the road. Its gonna look great both Chris and Darren going down the road in the 2nd Gens.
 
Yes he will will be looking at my tail lights in the distance if i can get the carburetor sorted out:wave: if not will be mustang for wheels day,
