Just a bit of a build thread on a 24 valve 80 I am currently rebuilding for a customer, the end goal is to have a mint condition vehicle and prepped for over land travel,unfortunately I didn't get any picture before I started I only started taking pictures as I started on the rebuild, currently I am getting the chassis in to a roller,the chassis has been away and blasted then we got it galvanised and coated black,while the chassis was away the body shell was completely stripped and it then went to get acid dipped along with all the body panels,the body was in acid for a total of three weeks,we were surprised at just how good the body was after being in acid,while both the body and chassis were away I had the axels casings sand blasted, the rear went straight for powder coating while i set to on the front adding strength in to the casing,for that I used a superior engineering brace kit and a trail gear weld on diff guard, I have all the parts back now and it a starting to come together
