1959 South African 11 window

1959 South African 11 window

Next in line for welding is this 1959 South African import.

Image

As with most things i've had in the workshop from South Africa its been modified at the local garage with random body changes!!!!!!

Image

So as you can see the side doors and frame have been cut out and swapped to the other side :?: :?:
Other mods include flared front arches,home made walkthrough bulkhead and some components from a toyota!!

I'll post a few more pics as she progresses.
Cheers Jeff.

So after chopping a load of unwanted modifications out like the 3mm plate floor that was seam welded in!!!!!!!! I decided to start by filling in the section that had been removed for doors and then cutting out and refitting a new set of doors to the correct side.
The only panel cuts available at the time were lhd so the pillars are back to front but its a good start to getting the old girl solid again.
