Been very slow getting stuff done, only managed a few of the small jobs.

Managed to make one good interior out of the two I bought, used both passenger seats, the rear seat base from one and rear rest from the other. (The two drivers seats were donated to a guy at work for his 200sx engined Mk2 Cortina Cool )

Both stalks were knackered and had cardboard wedged in them to try to make them work. Thank to VERNON on here I got two replacements and swapped them over.







Only 44,000 on the clock big grin

Clear indicators, hopefully I'll get some all red rear lenses once she's on the road as well

The rear has had a smack at some point, the bumper and rear valence were pushed in and the rear corner missing. I took the bumper off, 'adjusted' the valance and bumper mounts with a club hammer and now it's pretty straight.

Both door mirrors were knackered, held together with masking tape. I got a good, used drivers side one but the NOS one I got off Ebay for the passenger side s the wrong type, it has internal adjustment and cracked the outside trim when I fitted it.
