My UCAs looked like that - where the mud/muck/grit had sort of merged into one lump over 40 years or so...Yours have cleaned up nice - even your UCA bolts done look too corroded. You may as well do the bushes whilst you are under there. Whilst its off you can paint/power the bits too.

Looking good though. Real nice going through she is getting.

Good progress, as long as it keeps coming along a bit at a time it will get finished.

I have no problem with that Dunc, as long as some folks are doing it, than just talking about doing it, it's all good with me.

Plus most folks can probably relate to Danny's car, more than mine.

I love the way they screw up the carpet and squeeze it into the smallest box. Best leave it out somewhere flat and warm.
Good luck with that. :D

Seats look fab by the way.
