Lovely looking car, you've done a nice job of it, just out of interest when you did the bodywork up did you cut the rust out and replace with fresh steel or have you just used filler and has any work been done to the underside of the car?

only welding that's been done is the rear arches there is no other rot on the car i removed the side trims and passenger door lock and welded up the trim holes to give the car a cleaner line as for filler very little used on the whole thing it really is a good shell all the under side is superb no previous work found anywhere

Hi, just read through your retro rides thread in more detail - are the side trims and headlamp wiper washers still available for sale?

hi thanks yes it is still for sale now on ebay as i need a quick sale
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=220393897149
i will sell for offers very close to £1350 car runs and drives A1 only known fault is that the bonnet cable is broken and one rear window regulator is stuck but that really is all that's wrong with it
