Car is coming on, Should get the gearbox tunnel in next week then its off to have some blasting to make sure the rest of the chassis is strong and doesn't really need much repair.

Looking good Dingy, how long have you owned that car for ? I remember seeing some pictures of it unarched which seemed like a LONG time ago.
