Body & chassis separated

Hi all
My first big job completed. Body and chassis separated thanks to 3 bodies & some beer.
Onwards and upwards with the restoration.

Well done. Are you planning on keep the current chassis?

From the photo's looks fairly solid. Could do a with a bit of paint thou, POR15 is good stuff.
'73 +2 130/5 RHD, now on the road and very slowly rolling though a "restoration"

Thanks for the support. I am a complete novice at this although I did mess with cars a long time ago. It's a mid life crisis, or that's wat my wife says.
Ypres the chassis is very good, think it was replaced about 10 years ago and not been on road since then.
Am going to get it blasted & then decide wat to do. Powder coat or something else.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
