Few more bits bolted back on, don't look too hard at the upper control arm, you might see where I drew the line on the restoration:

"Drawing the line". Literally THE hardest thing to do for any restoration. Your Gremlin going to be a nice tidy driver which is all my aim is with my Hornet. Thats IF I can be strong enough to "Draw the line"

You will forever wish you had gone the extra mile and finished that off properly. Come on. Do it right. Everything else is.

For items painted with a brush, the pieces sure look good.

I may come back to it, but at this stage the plan is to get it driving ASAP and there are no plans to restore the rest of the body, not at this stage anyway. I am aiming for the sleeper/beater look on the outside and will only be doing rust repairs that are absolutely necessary for the time being.
