My 340 before major work began.

 

Work has begun .

 

I would like to get this side complete by July if time allows.

 

Some more pics

 

A little bit fabrication done on the foot well today.

 

Wow Aron, you have allot of work ahead of you ! I hope you got this at a good price given the amount of metal that has to be replaced. Just looking at your photos it almost would have been worth it to find a better example to restore, but at least when it's all done you'll know the work was done correctly and that all the rot has been looked after.
I take my hat off to you !

 

Aron

Great work and I know exactly what you are going through as I have been there, done it, nearly got the tee shirt and still welding. My 340 was in a similar state but the satisfaction you will get when it is complete and know you have a special car will be worth it.

Keep updating and be patient

 

Hi Jeff

Believe me its not just the body the engine is seized solid as well. Complete complete restoration. I will be some time.

Cheers Aron

Hi Aron, just out of interest what were/is the internal colour scheme, my resto also had a dk green body. KEEP GOING!!

Hi Barry

Sorry its taken a while for me to reply to your message and i hope your restoration is going well. In answer to your question i am not sure but i will try and get back to you with some information. I do know that the interior type is not stamped on the vehicle information plate and it will also depend on whether your vehicle is of the MK2 2.4 / 3.4 or the 240 / 340 range. I have put some photos up of my interior before i removed it.

Cheers Aron

 

Interior photos for Barry

 

Dug out some old photos of the leaf spring reinforcer being fitted.

 

thanks for the pics of the interior, nice scheme. Seeing your metal working pics takes me back to the hours I spent on mine , you forget after a while what youve been through.
You tend to concentrate on the tasks that you are currently undertaking. Mines trim at the moment. ( hence my interest in interiors) Taking my mk2 for its first MOT for 35 yrs( As far as I know) next Tuesday!!
Seats fitted for MOT with old 2 point belts.We'll see on tuesday!!
