I was thinking of PiMP (Pond's Money Pit).

If it`s going to be red you could call it the Ponderosa

By the time he's finished scrapping his knuckles , broken a finger, it will have a name that's not allowed until after the watershed

There’s a massive lack of photos on this thread. Just saying, we want to see how you’re getting on.

Theres a pic on page 1.
Just imagine the same but with a few months worth of dust covering it.

There seems to be a lot of talk but not much being done

That's because Stuart has been too busy to sort it for him.

Your answer is in the thread title,

"no going back now!"

My proudest work so far is the cover over the original rear view mirror mount.

The metal mount doesn't come off without smashing the windscreen, so I found a bottle lid which fits perfectly. Sprayed it black and stuck it over the mount. It will have a 'period' sticker at some point in the future.

Lots of painting and all the prep that entailed. Bonnet release and brackets installed. New wiper motor installed (but not wired yet).
Body and new bumper brackets installed. I had to fabricate a lot of the body bracketry as the seller of my kit had 'other' ideas as to how the body should be fitted! Still can't work out how he thought it was going to stay attached TBH.
