its a right pain having to put tarp right before even starting work on it, looking at weather forecasts to see how many jumpers need to go on etc, looking forward to getting indoors with a heater, lights, music, kettle and somewhere to store all me stuff out the way of prying eyes......

A lovely sympathetic biuld. Love it. No 'monster truck' or chequer-plated croc dundee nonsense, and disfigurements. Modulars rims etc etc.
If there's mods they look liek they're going to be subtle. Nice. tasteful recognisable series.
I want it. Well done

I tried to keep it as original as I could, even if it meant hours of cleaning, de rusting etc.
The rims took hours of paint stripping and wire brushing too, I think if I remember rightly I found some date stamps on the rims too.
Its been a slog, and my date for finishing has long gone, but it was a cold winter.
Thanks for your support..

- In the UK, thankfully.
Inspirational, well done, thank you for posting the photos, really cheered me up.
Also had a go at putting the clocks in too, quite a task getting all the wires stuffed in.
I decided to keep the grey surround on the clocks, break up some of the black.
The red LED mounted too, thats for the Toad immobiliser I fitted.
The direction indicator lights are a bastard to keep from spining around,
mine are the wrong way at the moment, but as the clock surround is all loose still, ill take it off and twist them.

SO, where am I now with this project?
Finally went out in the old girl for a drive at the weekend! but, only as far as the bottom of the drive.
No MOT yet.
Deadlines come and go, 4th now I think, but it is getting closer.
Just the interior to do, replace headling, 4 little rear seats etc.
I figured if I had an MOT and was on the road, I wouldnt bother so much with finishing it off, so I am going to try and finish first.

Hey treeman, yeh, when done we can meet up, or stop in next time you go to Trago
.Not thought yet were to go for mot, probably better if I go to a place used to Landys.
Today I battled with the seats in front.
I had already fitted them, just to see if they fit.
As I have deluxe seats the old style channels dont support them, so for the passenger side, I modified the channels to support the seat frame as I didnt have 2 sets of adjustable sliders.
ground off all the old paint and rust, tried in position before painting.
