Let me know when you fit those bushes and I'll talk you through a shortcut or two.
A sawzall will be your friend, I only had a hacksaw ;)
Cheers Miles, yeah there's a lot of rust as she has sat a few years. Going be middle of July before I get a go at it. It's at my folks, so going give my dad a call see if I can get him to start soaking it with something before I get there :)

Sure is Miles, past few years it's not had much.
Late 60s early 70s is my favourite era

A lot of these cars didn't even get looked after when they were new let alone this far down the line. Here's a '74 Roadrunner from round here, I took this in '76, you can see it's already had a hard life. It got written off a couple of weeks later...
