so it lay in the garage for the rest of the summer as you can see by the blue skys in the previous pictures who want to work in the weathers like that
so a few bbqs later and winter getting closer some part arrived i decided to do some work on the old girl front end was off any way so lets start with the rusty inner wings front end was taken off by previous owner to do a round light conversion so it came with a genuine used front panel used genuine front wings rusty tho lol so i had to look for replacements
