Not the most exciting photos of the car, but it is a little more progress.
So here are few pics to show the inner rocker fabrication and re-shaping of the reproduction rockers to fit. More soon...
Not a lot to report this time, Martyn has done a little work but hopes to crack on with it now until the end of the year.
I'm hoping to get back over in early December to see any progress...so I'll do photos then.
Over in Los Angeles for work and I managed to squeeze in a quick visit to the see Martyn and the car.
He's managed to discover more rust lurking around the inner rear wheel arch. It seems it had been botched when the car was tarted up in the 80's. Here are a few photos of the most recent work.
Next month Martyn plans to spend a few months on the car and to get all the rot cut out and new sills on the car.
Found some early photos of the car before it was shipped to Los Angeles. I think these were taken just after I bought the car and had it shipped to a friends garage (Richard & Liz - aka Rondo).
Had a flying visit to Los Angeles last week so dropped by to see the progress on the Mercury. The rear end is almost done and the trunk floor is fitted, Martyn has a little finishing off to do and he can then move on to the sills before we think about the chop!
Just a couple of new photos of the rear fenders Matyn is working on right now. Hopefully we are almost there and the rust is all gone from that part of the car.
