Hi all,

Sorry i thought i attached one!

Done so far:

  • Loosed the siezed drum brakes
  • Taken interior out
  • Removed exhaust, fuel lines and brake fluid lines from underneath 
  • Began cutting out the rotten floor (although there are some solid parts)
  • New battery
  • replaced a few seized components with spares we had lying around

Going in for engine work this next week! :gimme:

Our main aim is to keep it as original as we can

Just a quick question...

Somehow the passenger side window has fallen of its mechanism or something and i am having issues sorting it out. Anybody have any ideas how to realign it? 

Thanks
