1969 hornet mk3 project

Well i thought i should start a project thread even though its a known car on here

I picked her up monday night and drove her home as she is motd and taxed and roadworthy which is a good start and was an experience as this little car is probably another 10 years older then me but i love my old cars as they have character which you dont get in modern plastic and ecus

So the good side is shes solid underneather floor pans sills and all the hidden are fine

The paintwork is another story and looks tired and very tatty but all this will change over the course of the next few months

The interior is shocking to say the least and will be taken out and sorted with another interior maybe not a pure hornet interior but maybe borrowed from one of her slightly younger cousins

Im pretty fortunate that i have a very large garage on the side of my house with plenty of room for the little lady

And i think i got all angles cover as a mechanic by trade but also trained in panel beating and spraying

But thats enough of my rambling heres a few pics alot will change this weekend as stripping down and windows and grotty interior out

A nice place to start Steve, keep the photy's coming, I'm sure they all love photy's on here

Yes its not too shabby with a bit of love sweat and tears will look a different car

More pics will follow the weekend on strip down which im looking forward too as thats the first stage of makeing things happen towards a positive ending

good luck with it and don't forget to buy it a christmas present! old cars respond well to presents!

How exciting to be right at the beginning, and to have all that fun ahead of you!
she looks like a beaut., what are you going to name her?
Look forward to hearing ALL about it!
