I'll start working on my frame and mechanics,
for the body I do not know what to do, it is much rust
to save time I think to buy a new body and transplanting parts that are still good on my slat, as I will keep the integrity and at least it will be strong because order a front and rear floor with the left and right plus a few parts that cost as much as an entire body.
What you think of that.

Hi Michel, The Crew would say you have to fix that one, as its note orginal with an after market tub on it.
You have to fix it man. Its just time & steel. Any one can bolt on new parts. When ist repaired its stil the original 1942 tub.
Stephen. Fix it!

My tub was quite a bit worse than yours. We fixed it.

HI
What do you think that the hole in my hood
is done by a bubba,or factory for air filter ,
it looks perfectly round, not cut by hand,
a hole right side, is it common?

The hole could be an early fording kit modification. Several pictures have been posted of this modification on British, Australian and a few US G503s

That hole in the hood is for the first type of engine heater kit.
