started stripping the car to a bare shell, pleased so far with only one hole in the boot floor around the plug area, arches/inner arches are very good as are inner sills and floor area. Has had kick panels replaced at some point. Plenty of waxoyl in the quarters etc which has saved it.

hoping to finish this one some time next year Brian.

front end is not so tidy but is genuine. I have new gen Ford panels for it. Needs new wings, front panel, top plates, will see how the inners look after blasting.
