It's no good reading the manual now!

its just for show mate, honest! 

Car now completely stripped for blasting apart from the running gear. Weeks of protective gunk removal starts here:

ACTUALLY - before i continue removing all of the sound-deadening (?) material beneath the driver and passenger seats - is this a good idea?? Is it worth it?

Any thoughts from those who have done it, or otherwise?

Cheers 

Great project, personally i doubt id be brave enough to takeout all the wiring, I can just about manage a 3 pin plug. Kudos to you for a thorough restoration

I'd remove the deadening, just in case there's rust hiding under there

   You're correct of course - think I was just having a lazy moment last night after work!

Thanks

 

Can anyone advise why there are so many holes in the floor (under the dashboard area)??

Progress seems slow but getting there bit by bit  

Any progress is good progress. Keep up the clean work!

Well looks like there's no nasty surprises so far  

You lucky devil, you!

Finished the body work yet?

ive definitely found my fair share of rust! my collection of replacement panel sections seems to be growing by the day.
Not to mention some dodgy historical welding getting uncovered….


in other news, gearbox cleaning started in earnest last  night (and I immediately broke a bolt…

Made a quick but sturdy frame so that I could remove the front running gear prior to paint strip:
