Hi im not too far away in nuneaton and might be interested, is it drivable Back that distance?, any pics? PM'd you... cheers adam

Stripped radio as buttons were not working...cleaned inner rubber and contacts and now working fine!....did I say this was not going to be a restoration/project?!!..can't help myself!

found the source of the water in my passenger footwell!...blocked drain pipe under windscreen scuttle panel!...was overflowing down the main loom entry!...now I know where the stagnant smell was coming from..soaked carpet!

..Couldn't help it...had to finish tidying the other rusty bits and blowing in with paint to make the old girl a bit smarter!, and badges to boot!

Great Build thread Lofty! carry on the good work...will keep watching for when its finished!

After a repaint and frantic 3 hours to remove old and refit new, wing is on unfortunately paint shade from local bodyshop is off by quite a bit :-( ..although it is a bit flat and will need a polish out the shade is too far out..shame...and to top it all I thought i'd have a look at the cill rust...and that has the beginning of a hole too :-(( ..I think that's it for the old girl and the restore thread...not spending any more money.., will use her for the next month while I get my other car fixed then she will be up for sale as spares or restoration on here and elsewhere. real shame, but got be realistic!

...unfortunately as its dried I've had the dreaded crinkling paint reaction!!...the wing had been repainted previously, and that paint doesn't like mine!...well the wing will have to go on for the moment, can be repainted on the car at a later date...if I have the car that long!

replacement wing, ready to go on!...

...decided to have a play with the paint issues , worst bit first...big bubble on front wing.....unfortunately I now have a very big hole!!...now need a wing...seems I had been filled in the past!
