To the members who appreciate unbelievable restorations, do yourselves a favour and follow this rebuild.

If you look back on Nick's videos you will find this man doesn't know the meaning of the word impossible.

Plus he is fun to watch. New video each Friday, something to look forward to.

Mark.

Here’s some more photos of the frame jig. It is now complete and I’ve started working on removing the rust out of the chassis rails.

cool Projekt!

Are you planning to do some pulling on the chassis while it is mounted on the jig?

i thinking about a massive frame for my projekt to be able to get with a hydraulik press on it maybe?

It would be interesting to see the as-found, retrieval photos.

Unfortunately I don't have any old pics of it, only when it came to my place for restoration.

Here's some more progress pics. I needed to make a stamping die for the lower floor lucky Stan had a great idea using this pressing method. Also fixed up the middle storage chest area that was rusted on the lower edges.
