No photo's yet but lots been going on, big pile of crap on the floor from under the hood. Air con gone, heater gone, sundry wiring and vacuum hoses dispensed with, cleaning, painting, more cleaning, some new parts, some vintage parts, it's looking much better. Brakes are still crap so new master cylinder coming, new carpet fitted, and a very rare set of vintage wheels being prepped for installation....

Car looks spot on as it is but needs wider rubber for sure. Such a handsome car.

Hurst made the Lightening Shifter, didn't look like what Blue has fitted.
