most of the stuff from the car went to guys from the S,O,S,E, forum the bulk head pad went as well but was for LHD so fuse box hole on wrong side.

Same here...........will follow this one from start to finish :D

The LHD donor shell looks about as solid as you'll ever find, very nice indeed.

Are you going to leave the wipers as is, or covert to RHD ????

More pics please :jumpy:

was intending to leave the wipers but as im fitting a pedal box with internal cylinders the wiper motor hit the cylinder so had to change them to RHD.

Have a look on this thread from S,O,S,E, for more pics http://www.scottisholdskoolescorts.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12456

rear turret and inner wheel arch cut back out to make way for 15" tub, got the tub offered up but cant weld it in until new turret arrives as did'nt manage to salvage the other one, looking better already though
