Mopar Muscle Association UK

Time for an update, I spent all of the B/hol week back home at the folks on the Charger, went back by myself with no family so could spend as much time as I wanted working on it.

Well after spending the first Saturday recovering from the drive home the Sunday was spent removing the wings and doors for access.

Monday came and as I stood in front of her the full scale of the Tin worm damage was evident...

I almost scrapped her,









but I'd driven 550mls and had a week before the ferry home so decided to have a go and see how it went, my brother had booked some holiday from work and gave me some help for three days,

first patch going in





























and at the end of the week she now has a complete firewall,



she's not pretty and won't be a prom queen but at least there's a chance we can save her

Damn, mate you have cojones! I wish you well with that project.

That is a lot of work in a very short time, I bet you owe your bruv a few beers!

That is a some good work started Dave, keep at it soon she will look better.

Great work, well done

Bloody hell....well done

Great work being done there, this is great to see a Mopar being saved like this, keep up the great work!

Thanks for the encouragement guys it's really appreciated

It was very close to being scrapped but decided not to give up on her there are some large repairs yet to be done but the Firewall was probably the worst, fingers crossed

Yes Pete it was a busy week reckon we put over 100 hrs into it between us, and I'll probably owe him a pub at the end of it

You're a brave man, I wouldn't have taken that on! Good luck with the project.

Cheers Blue, don't know about Brave though more likely Hebridean Foolishness but I'm up for the challenge
