The old lass is coming along really well. I put a new rear back panel on courtesy of Canley Classics, took the repair arches off they had only been braised on cleaned everything up and put them back on. repaired a hole in the front passenger floor and underneath the tank plus back of sills in wheel arches.
Apart from that 2 front wing to vallance corners courtesy of an old MG, didn't take much adapting and a MK2 drivers door bit of a pain till I found the Mk1 and Mk2 door locks are different

Got all the underneath done with Shutz sealer and waxoyl today, what a messy job . I look like a chimney sweep at the moment.

Progress Report:

More or less got the exterior body sorted out put new seals on doors and windows and putting a new windscreen rubber on at weekend.

Interior I have to make some new door cards as the damp got to the old ones and all inner panels are to be rust treated and waxed.

New carpets arrive next week.

Going well at the moment, subject to the gremlins. :D
