Remember this thread:
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=717163 (The great refresh)

Well...the story continues...
This car will be no more....yes I can hear the collective groaning, but it turns out that the Cancer ran far deeper than anyone thought, and the cost to repair was to much......SOOOOO....I have instead picked up a 97% rust free 82 body, have just finished stripping it, and it is in the process of being sand blasted, and totally stipped of it's aged paint.
I am having any remaining rust removed, and having the car painted a dark silver metallic.
We will then take all the parts/interior etc from Veronica, (the old ones name), transfer them onto the new beautiful shell, put in the brand new motor, and I should have one unbelievably beautiful Veronica 2. Granted no more original, no more 600,000kms+, but I will start a new chapter for this one...
Pictures will happen soon...and maybe I will make it down to the IPD Garage sale...if it's completed...fingers crossed.

Cheers,
-Phil
