January 22, 201312 yr Author comment_412629 Today I dropped the C110 off at a local Resto place to get this project moving along a bit faster. It will be soda/sand blasted in the next few weeks so it will be interesting what secrets are hidden beneath the nice looking paint.

Can't wait to see what the car comes back like!

January 23, 201312 yr Author comment_412736 Sorry mate, I don't think I have any close up pics but on the front above what you can see in the pic is a piece of angle iron approx 200mm long on each side facing downwards picking up the front crossmember bolts under the chassis rails.On the back it simply has a piece of 75x75 tube bolted between the factory cradle mount studs then some 50x50 legs and some 10 or 12mm plates to bolt the wheels to.240k style- That's the guy restoring my cars daily, It's pretty awesome! He also has another one with a 650+hp RB26.

March 7, 201312 yr Author comment_417125 The shell came back from blasting yesterday and it seems to be quite straight with no major rust and no accident repairs. They used soda on the large flat area's and I think garnet In the bay, boot and underneath, I didn't get inside done because it is still really tidy and would only create more unnecessary work. Although the previous rust repairs were plated and not bogged they are not good enough to achieve a file finish so will have to be redone. Surprisingly there's no rust around the rear window and very little around the front window.

March 7, 201312 yr comment_417133 You're pretty lucky by the looks of it! Seems like a really clean car, I'm jelly! Seems most good blasters use a mix of mediums. What did the blasting and etch prime (I assume it was primed?) cost if you don't mind me asking?
