C110 Sedan build

[JMT240KGTR]

Hi guys just some pics of my 240K sedan currently a work in progress....

When I got it, rust was pretty bad around the rear screen, this section cut out, re-fabricated and welded. The car was quite a mess, ie bush basher, but was very straight and completely original manual car.

I've just finished spraying last week, original colour in acrylic (yep but not too bad for a home job, I'm pretty happy with my rub back, cut & polish skills) , standard L24 completely re-built as well with 5 speed, I'll be fitting a single Weber downdraft 38 DGMS to it.

Now the car is sprayed and back home, I can start work on the underside & interior, brakes, bushings, etc etc.

The car will remain standard except for the Weber carb, exhaust, and wheels. Hope to have it on the road in the next few months.

Nice Wheels

Best looking paddock basher I've ever seen! Bonus points for the sympathetic resto.

Mastad, yeah how'd you go with the wheels?

Drew, in a sense yeah, pretty straight for a paddock basher I'll admit, nowhere as bad as the red one you scored not long ago!

I've managed to find another in NSW I saw a while back when driving through, will be picking up in a fortnight, 16hr round trip to get a 240K these days. Whenever out driving out in the country now I find myself looking round every farm very extra closely for signs, who'd have thought we'd get so desperate!:surprised

Pretty much came down to $$$, I've never sprayed 2k before, and didn't have the funds to get a shop to do it either :/

Acrylic's a pain in the %$#, but that's the only thing I know.

you can pick up 4L kit for around 200 these days. easy to spray but alittle more toxic but you can get mask and overalls to wear.

still looks good though
