Hey guys. I don’t post a lot on here but read heaps. First off id just like to thanks Gong, Mikecatts and Baz for the help and advice over the years. I purchased this baby back in 2012 as a “almost ready to paint” project... after some slight sandblasting we noticed the filler... so it went bare metal and the nut and bolt restoration started.
The photos here show the 500+ documented man hours between rust repair, panel allingment and finally paint. It’s been a expensive road to get here by my god it’s been worth it now. Finally home, ready to put back together.
70 LC GTR finally in colour

WOW!
There's 8 years of back Christmas presents right there 
And now all the good fun begins, very exciting times now and ahead, some good milestones coming up - Rolling, Seats (special time to be about to sit in it and dream),
Running gear, First start and the very best... First drive!
Its a big climb to the top of the hill so very well done to get to this very significant stage, and enjoy the road down the other side.

Thanks guys appreciate the comments. We colour matched the car to the colour behind the original striker on the pillar.
If anyone needs chrome work or re zincing send to Ollie at Bendigo Electoplating he done a amazing job of the front / rear bars and all the hundreds of springs / bolts nuts etc
