Hi all ... thought I would share some pics of my car... is it getting the once over ... new pans, rocker covers, steering box etc. etc. etc ... hoping it will be worth it once it hits the road ... not for the feint hearted!

Hi Mat ... will put up more pics of the offending bits today ...you are so right the pics look good ..I even sat and observed the boys putting in the new floor plates in bali ..pity they did not do the sills at the same time ...as you can see the car is very straight ..it is the most important unseen things that need doing right!
As discussed I have all the bits down to the bolts and fender welts etc. ......will keep you posted and we can catch up for that coffee maybe next week ...thanks for the reply .. it is going to be great .....I hope!
