    So after some general poking around on Tuesday night i was all set to get involved last night - let the strip commence 8pm-10pm

    Side strips off on the O/S



    Grabbed hold of the O/S rear arch to see wtf it consisted of and guess what Filler ahoy!





    Then as i kinda need the car mobile still for a couple of days i started on the interior



    The spaniel in the way for a change



    Out



    Then the lower dash tray



    And the other side



    The underlay was soaking wet



    Carpet out and looking grubby



    Much better inside now so i can dry it out



    Rear seats and carpet out





    I then hung them out to dry

    was the spaniel standard on that model, or an optional extra?

    I was using her like a 'magic tree' to hide the stench of the rotting carpet

    Nice find, seems quite solid considering the rusty bodywork. I look forward to some more fantastic fabrication work from yourself.
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”

    Look forward to seeing what you create this time dude.

    As said, the important bits look solid. Still got a fair bit of welding to do which I know you'll love. You should get MK999 to come over - he needs the welding practice.
