        floors under rear seats look good,



        took old headlining out, nice original paint behind it.

        thats all for now.

                found part of the hole that rev counter fitted into before the dash had been cut,

                another pic of the floor,


                I've splashed out and ordered half floor pans from expressed panels so i can cut all this out & do it properly.

                    Very nice shell, good to see paint on roof under headlining, mines just surface rust and no top coat!
                    will make a cracking motor.
                    keep up the good work.

                        couple more pics of the strut tops, this lot will need cutting out & doing again.

                            So much better when it is all stripped out, you can see what's what! Usual places that rust but nothing that can't be put back to it's former glory! Lovely resto this!

                              Excellent project.
                              Good luck with it also.
                              Wanted one of these since I read the article in Street Machine on Ron Harris and his son.

                                Thankyou for all the comments! I've started buying some bits for it & managed to get hold of an original set of moulded rubber mats which it would have had when new, they've got a couple of splits & a bit grubby but should clean up ok, I'm pleased with them though as they're so hard to find now .
