One of the worst parts, we cut it out and welded some thick steel into place and its now repaired.

Both rear arches were shot.
So we cut back to the good metal and welded new arches in.
They are now both sound.

Colour coded the rear lights (before lacquer)

We're colour coding as much as possible, i beleive this is one of the most effective ways to bring a car up to date without it losing its original character, and keeping it very close to stock.

HOLY COW man! You are hardcore! I have seen some builds in my time with only one other as hardcore as you. I am envious. Great job on this. I am sure you are one proud owner!
