      • Last bits of the roof completed, new foam attached to the bottom of the tray and all tidied up, also been fixing broken door cards. As all of my good ones are gone now I'm having to fix broken, damaged etc. But not coming out too bad. Started the car up and mucho stale fuel smell so will put another filter on it and clean out the pump, fuel lines, tank and put fresh petrol in it and red ex ..... Eventually as its possible that's the problem

                      • The rear boot lock wasn't working due to excessive old grease, so cleaned that up and now all working properly, also started stripping the drivers seat base as I have new covers going on. These seat base caps are on early models only

                          • All back together and in the car. The front drivers seat looks brand new and only one part of the seat base is old and needed cleaning. The seat back, escutcheons and rest of the base is new

                            • Sorted all the damaged front wing paint, front splash shields on, sorted the non working front indicator, removed the fuel filler pipe for basic de-rusting and no holes in it so that's a good thing. I've also repaired the original dash display and put LED lamps in it so that will be going back in the car. Been experimenting with that for quite a while but alls working now. It's not too far off being completed but will be cleaning most things in the engine bay next as there isn't a radiator in it atm. The rad company is having difficulty in finding a replacement core so that's a little delay, will at somepoint have to sort the HRW as one of the side heat units has come ways from the glass but the car won't be finished this year anyway so no rush.

                              • Also sorted one of the door mirrors, my NOS ones are blank so i had to put a lever on from one of my old ones.
