Re: Valiant charger restoration
Thanks guys
Yes Derek,long time no see
Resto long overdue
Started this in July so plenty of pics to come
First things first
Pictures are coming from iPhone but rotation is wrong when I download onto forum
Anyone have any idea why they are rotating
Nothing worse than a crooked picture

I think (not positive) that it happens when the source picture files are too big for the Forum.
The Forum can auto=resize pictures but there is an upper limit...

Re: Valiant charger restoration
Well as I expected plenty of rust in the usual Aus charger places
As you will see they have covered the only access to the drains and the plenum areas filled up with water
Render corner beads are for rendering not something to mould grp and filler round
Also knocked a bloody great hole through the inner wing

Re: Valiant charger restoration
Front structural cross member was cut through as well as the lower radiator panel
Got a good straight second hand one that needed a few welding repairs

Re: Valiant charger restoration
Brilliant stuff Terry, glad you've got started on this one. Jack still wants it if you change your mind!
Keep the pics coming, I have lots of interior trim panels if you need, and rear seats.

Re: Valiant charger restoration
Yes Dave the usual spots
Plenum area is a lot worse than minty
Front area is 90% complete
Lot’s of metal patches and plenum area has been repaired
Has had two coats of Mipa epoxy while I attack the rest of it
I thought Jack had his hands full with other projects
Door cards are shot ,the back seats are in good condition
Front seats need recovering
