Actually i wanted to start this post with the body work, but the weather conditions and other factors decided otherwise....
I'll continue this with the "mechanical" part as i the chassis is almost done and i dont want to wait any longer to keep posting. This is the chassis when it arrived Broken Radio box I guess i will need to find a replacement for this one. I already found one on E-bay but it's still too expensive..well too expensive for this single project. As i already mentionned before, this is the most expensive resto i've done until today.

Front suspension
As usual, shock absorber grommets worn soldered antenna Well, until now nothing that can't be fixed. I have ordered a new NOS front bumper, NOS UJ's and the most expensive part...both mirrors. ( i'm not allowed to tell you how much i paid for them ) my wife would just divorce if she knew about that The tires are from the re release, more or less cheap and easy to find Proud owner of the Bruiser Family
