Hi.
My name is Adam. I am owner of a classic cars restoration shop in Poland. Some of you probably have heard of me I do not speak Norwegian, but you guys speak great English so we will understand each other.
Week ago I started a new project for Norwegian man, and we agree to post progress pictures here.
I works with US classic cars from fiew years. Some of you are working with US classic cars fom decades... I listen to advices and I can also help a lot. I also know that different countries have different preferred methods of repairs. So follow my toppic. My motto is to do each next car better than the previous.
It is a 1968 Mustang Fastback. At the first look, aspecially on pictures, it do not look so bad

At the begining we has to stripe it, of course. Guess what animal lived here.... I do not know.
(I has lot of different animals in US-imported cars, squirrels, mice, monkeys, spaiders....)

that`s lizzard eggs!!

Yes, I am the same Adam.... on picture pushing angry Geir ... It was funny joke picture

back to eggs... my workers bet on crocodile or snake anyway it is great idea to import a animal in egg, then after You pickup a car You can put eggs in to an air filter, start engine, after fiew hours driving around a city You can get Your new born pet

Back to oryginal topic... fiew more pictures of rust.... and lot of work to do....

More pictures... as you can see.... rust ewerywhere...

Taking the engine out of a car

Then we start cutting, some panels, what need replacing....
This Mustang has rust in non expecting places.... Usually Mustangs rust similar... simple ewerything but this one has totally rusted back - trunk, quarters, etc - then rear framerails are like new...
At the front it look inversely - fenders are nice, inner engine room panels almost ok, but front frame rail do not exist....

ouch.. a lot of work

Yes... lot of work to do, and it is only the begining....
Here are some pictures, when car is ready for initial sanding. We are sanding first time not so carefully, just to clean metal a little bit, and see what else need fixing or replacing. I have my own sanding place, so can afford for fiew time sanding . Of course we do not use normal sand It is kind of glass, the most important is that this material do not keep moisture (water) when You leave something in a car. (It is normal, that You are not able to remove all sand from a car - some of them will be forewer in a framerails, or hidden places)
