Another day in the barn working on “Vinny” as named by my wife, Julie.

I have prepared the engine bay for a quick coat of paint (primer and a couple of final coats) so I can start putting back all the parts I have stopped of in the past 6 months.

I have cleaned and prepared the handbrake assembly which came up quite good seeing as it was coated in mud. I have a feeling this car may be similar to the Peat Bog man – it has been preserved for the past 44 years in the barn by a layer of mud after its last owner drove it through their potato field. I have only found one small rust hole so far in the floor pan of the drivers side. Fingers crossed this will be the trend 🙂

This lift is the best thing I have bought in a long time (and it will be a long time before I can afford anything thing else 🙁 )

This is the number stamped into the bulkhead – it will be covered in paint soon so caught it on camera
