Hey Lads,
Its been a long while since ive been on. Sold my P38 today (my pride and joy for 5 years) and finally decided to get a Classic, its a 3.9 EFI V8 was delived to me and the battery was dead. fired it up and it growled like a beast! im absolutely in love....! im dlooking to do a full nuts and bolts rebuild from scratch. has all the usual rust problems so looking to galvanize the chassis and everything in between. I always have a bust schedule so allowing 2 years for the project (or sooner if i can keep her in the dark about the costs...!) just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice for me or anything i need to check out before i get started. looking to restore it to a completely original state with it looking like a factory vehicle so anything regarding kit, tools or equipment that would be worth looking at would be great
he is a pic of it. i know it looks stupid with all the crap on it but it will all be coming off!
