well im starting with the outside mate getting bodywork back to how it should be and getting rid of a few little bits of rust few dents and things u know how it is mate. poor things stood on my drive for 7 years or so. concidering the time its stood there isnt really that much rust but still looking for a rear screen rubber so i can start the overhaul of the bodywork. then it will be ready for paint hehe. will take me a while as money hard to come by at the minute so im just being patiant.
