Rebuilding the front end...

Wow - things are really starting to move along...

We took the front left fender off before the big move and we've spent the last week getting the front & rear subframes back out (the car is now on Dad's well signed skateboard!), removing all the trim and "bright work", and removing the front "nose" panel. It was in pretty bad shape due to several font impacts and dodgy repair jobs over the years.

Here's a couple shots of Vanman with the nose removed (on the skateboard)...

Here's the new nose panel which we sourced out of SA - it's the "heritage" part, not the modern re-make. Right behind it is the front subframe.

Our next job is to put the new nose panel onto the car, and attach our new fender that we got on eBay about a year back (below) - once we have this in place we can start the body prep in earnest!
