nice to see her getting some love, would be cool to see progress pictures as you go. Whats the plans as far as colour goes? Gotta say she is a heck of a lot straighter than my ratter bellett!

Thanks guys
No ideas on colour yet mrfibbles but most likely a solid non metallic. Will be plenty of pics of the build. plan is full resto starting with back to bare metal and plenty of rust repairs ( not to bad for its age)anybody had experience with paint removal places in Adelaide?
