As found during teardown, the car was not quite as described. We knew that we
where going to change few things and though the level of some of the rust was
unexpected from what it was promised we knew we would be looking at
replacing and or patching some parts of the sheet metal.
There was also a time window of 4 months to rebuild the car and get it back to
running condition hence the build was split into 2 phases.
Phase 1 was to rebuild the car by correcting any metal deficiencies that
where due to the age of the car and prepare it for power upgrade
Phase 2 was to upgrade power plant in the car. this involved preparing
engine bay by fabricating new mounts to the engine. Running new fuel lines,
electrical and exhaust and anything that was missed or skipped in phase 1
Phase 1
Part 1 - Rust replacement
Part 2 - Chassis reinforcement and upgrades
Part 3 - Body work / Paint
Part 4 - Do dats
Phase 2
Part 1 - Engine bay cleaning up
Part 2 - New donor engine
Part 3 - Electrical
