1960, i have to try and fit a late model gearbox in it as the original one sh*t itself. the seats and trim are not very old and nether is the stereo. we think the motor is ment to be a 1500 but we will see when i pick it up today.

just out of interest it took me 30 mins to modify the front gearbox mount and refit the gearbox. Thought it would be harder but once i nutted it out everything just fell into place. tomorrow night do the brakes and put in the motor. hopefully i will be driving it by the end of the week
