15 window resto

Post by bulliboy »

Kicked off today , so far too easy stripped out the seats , carpet, interior pannels all doors, lids , lights bumpers , glass and screw on bits Not even a siezed bolt or screw!. Remarkable how solid this is some surface rust under the drivers side window rubber and one hole in the floor! Feels like im cheating . I will post some pics soon as work progresses. mitchell
