Ok. Busy day yesterday, I have added pics of what I have done so far. Parts list is growing slowly, small stuff too which isnt so bad. 8 Spots of rust (to quote Blocker, R.U.P.) after removing the roof lining yesterday my first thought was "damn, this is clean" almost no surface rust in the lid, so Im over the moon about that. In the last pic: I found this inscribed in the drivers side pillar...bit of history there, anyone else ever found this on their builds? That, and probably squashed 100 very sick spiders, they are the ones I have seen, some massive red backs and white tails!

looks like the rust monster took a dump all over it but it actually seems to be pretty solid under all that

Thanx Evie, it aint no XX7 like yours is..but its spec in its own way.
Doesn't need an XX7 to be a bloody lot of fun and as long as you enjoy it, who cares.
By the amount of effort your putting into it already, she'll look a million dollars.
