been playing with the hearse (what its now called apparently) again, i started by removing the carpet to see what state the floor was in and i was quite suprised to only find a little bit of rot hiding... but there's some dodgy plates that the gearbox cradle bolts to..

also had a poke around on the body work while the weather was nice the other day, rubbed down the bubbling around the n/s/r arch to see just how bad it is and it's pretty shot so just put some prima on to cover the bare metal, and done the same in a few other spots aswel.

hole above the o/s/r window
