ive started work on the 1968 Elf and the mechanics are nearly completed. engine is now like new. head completely reconditioned, valves all reset, new waterpump, starter, completely retuned, new electrics etc etc.
upholstery is gone off to be redone today too.
the bodywork is now the problem though. the car has never been properly restored so there has been some patching done over the years.
what urgently needs to be done is-
front floors replaced (see photos below) - I have the new panels
front drivers side inner wing to be repaired (previous crash repair done badly) and outer wing to be replaced as previously repaired badly - I have a new wing
rear valance to be replaced and battery box to be replaced - I have new panels for both
general tidy up. I don't want to completely strip it back and respray as trying to keep it as original as possible for now.
in the long term id like to respray completely but funds don't allow it for now so just want to tidy it up and get it back on the road for the summer.
I have had one quote that was on the high side so can anyone recommend someone or want to take this on?
