1974 E Type roadster (RMC) Total body restoration

Specification (briefly) for this project is as follows: Restore V12 E Type roadster bodyshell - customer will reassemble the car at home.

Another typical roadster body restoration for the guys in the Team CJ Coachworks. What looked to be a fairly solid starting point looks much worse after sand blasting. Unfortunately, this is almost always the case.

This bodyshell is in need of major restoration.

Notice daylight shining through the  side panel in the footwell - not good	This is the LH rear arch
Rusted through where the LH sill meets the rear wing	These are holes in the floor
More holes in the floor	This is the mounting point for the  engine frame - rusted and weak
More rust through at RH B pillar and the sill	RH rear arch is as bad as the left
Not good at the rear of the sill either - note previous botched repairs	This is rusted through where the rear cage mount up
