Good to see you got her home safe Gary, that is definately a very early car, it has the cut down door frames like mine, later cars had complete doors fitted, frame and all! , as mentioned before, be very careful how you jack her up, as Gary spotted the car looks like it is flexing when lifted so it may be very weak in the centre.
I had one like that a few years back, when we picked her up and jumped in we couldn`t shut the doors! so we very gingerly got out, closed the doors and did a "dukes of hazzard" dive in through the windows instead :roll: , once the car is stripped i would brace those doors before you tackle anything , good luck with it, looks like you will be busy for a couple of years.

Good luck with it , hope she's not to bad on th eunderside - the rest seems managable

Thanks guys you can now follow this saga in the Readers Projects section.

Its great to see this motor being saved. restoring this will definitely be a labour of love, but probably an easier task than repairing 30 years wear on Linda Lusardi´s bodywork
