It's going to have to be done in the end though you know. nonono:

No big hurry, which therefore gives you bags of time to find one second hand, one that's sound but possibly rusty even.
Any chrome platers out there?

Insides coming out a treat... looks remarkably sound...  rubschin:

Seats ok? Carpet? Door cards? Dashboard?

These are all things I specialise in, but getting them here or vice versa could be logistically a tad trying.

Headlinings can be a bit suspect on them too iirc.

It all needs re-doing...

Seats are mechanically sound... need re-upholstering...

Cards and carpet have gone...

Dashboard needs replacing but the binnacle (sp?) can be refurbished so I have decided to re-build the dash as the original...

Struggling to get the dash out tho... gonna pop to the post office and see if my Haynes manuals are there (and get a kebab problee)...
