Far out. Just went through every page and that's one hell of a job that you have been doing. The rust stuff scares the shit out of me.

Good luck with its completion and I look forward to seeing the end result.

If you click on the the two links there is numbers in the top right and bottom right of the page, that will take you through the rest of the resto to where I am up to.

56 is at the upholsterers still.

The rat - we are just putting in the IRS, most of the rust is out.

Didn't get out there the other day. Hopefully next week.
