Car is pretty much back together now I want to replace the side window seals and scrapers and put the chrome surround on grill
Also got very bad running issues but I think it's down to the carb. I've got just under a month to sort it for the Agm
How she's looking at the moment:

During Respray:
How it looks now:
Ive since invested in an XL wind deflector and Im replacing the seals and scrapers round the side windows at the moment, gonna get a chrome surround for the grill, sort out the worn drivers bolster and maybe over winter replace the vinyl roof with a new mohair then call it a day and maybe invest in a tintop project

will16v - thanks! i was well chuffed with how it turned out, having a cab is wicked brought it with me to work today its in the car park with the roof down waiting for home time
the paint cost me £1200 but that was that included prep work, masking, paint, laubour etc + new windscreen and dropping it back to my door.
and r32guy the seats were just a tintop rear bench modified to have headrests and retrimmed in leather, but i sold them cus they never fit properly and was too crowded in the back of a cabby
