Evening all.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and I've finally got hold of my perfect car (besides an original Ford GT40).

It's a part starting project I picked up for what I think is a great price.

The previous owner had it for around 10 years, and the work carried out was before that.

At one time, it belonged to a relatively local vicar.

Looking forward to getting stuck in, along side restoring a morris minor police car  20210701_143831.jpg   66.79K   3 downloads  20210701_143837.jpg   65.38K   2 downloads  20210701_143844.jpg   56.76K   1 downloads

Great stuff.

Could I ask a favour ??

I'm presently restoring a Van and can't remember how the seals go on the rear doors.
I've taken plenty of photos on my phone but haven't got one of the rear door seals...

I think they go all round the right hand door.....and top, bottom, hinge side left hand door...
But on the centre channel do they just come down and up so far...??

Many thanks
Neil

No problem at all Neil, it only comes up a couple inches. I can measure it if you like? Or I imagine close enough is good enough

So far, all I've done is buy wheels and shiny bits haha.

I've had a couple of Midget's come in so I've got to get those out the way first

Yeah I'm really pleased with, especially for what I paid for it.

There's really not a great deal of welding to do
