    Andrew's 101 restoration project

    Hello,

    I have been lurking around here for a while now so I thought it was about time I shared some photos of my 101 project.
    I purchased the 101 in 2000 (1978 GS 24V 26000km) so I could take my family on a "back to the Track" trip in 2005 - I know that boat has floated.
    My family call it the 50.5 because its only half a 101.

    Anyway to date I have rebuilt the engine, completely striped the 101, Sand blasted, etch primed and two pack enamelled the chassis. The same for all under body parts etc
    The Cab and tray are sitting in the drive way stripped naked waiting for the new workshop to be completed. Hopefully I will have that finished in the next month.
    I'm not a rivet counter but I am planning on keeping at original as possible.

    As time goes by I will add more photos of the restoration process
    These photos were taken on the day I took delivery.

    I cant work out how to attach the photos in full size. The links below are for my drop box

    Nice. Hope the resto progresses well, and that you post plenty more pics along the way.

    What part of the country are you in?

    That is the gun rack.

    Andrew - nice looking vehicle and welcome to the club. Keep us updated on your progress but I guess if you have already owned this for 13 years it will be slow .

    Yes hence the 50.5 comments
    I have just poured the slab for my new workshop which is been delivered Tuesday week. After the workshop is setup I hope to work on the 101 until its finished.
