Chuffed to have my Stag back on the road after a major resto, will try and post a before and after pic below:

Tony.
Well done.
It is very satisfying and you should be proud. Its just a little nerve racking as every body on the road seems to be aiming for you. If the weather with you has been as good as down here then this weekend has been good for Stag driving.

All the best
Paul.

I am looking forward to the day my project Stag is completed.

Very well done indeed. I take my hat off to those with the necessary skills and perseverance to rescue bodywork like that.

Congratulations. Just out of interest - how long and how much?

[jleyton]

Brilliant - well done

Just wish I could do things like that.

Have you got pics of the resto that you can post ?

Cheers

Julian

Ps From the pictures, it seems you only took a minute to do it all

Thanks everyone, I forgot to say in the post a big thank you to all the forum members that helped along the way during the many "head scratching" moments.

Just to answer a few questions, I haven't dared add up the costs but I would imagine the car owes me at least £12k by now, including purchase price and it was off the road for 7 years. That figure does include modifications such as a manual overdrive conversion, Datsun driveshafts, Holley carb, tubular manifolds, engine rebuild etc., etc and it could have been considerably cheaper if I was able to paint it myself.

I've posted pics before but if anyone is interested and hasn't seen them before I have various folders e.g. inner sills, wings and outriggers within my photobucket account:

I think a huge round of applause is in order! What a great feeling it must be to do all that work and then get the pleasure of driving it too!
Well done and I'm feeling rather jealous!
