spent some of the weekend getting the dashboard out and the bumper and headlights ,



found quite a bit of corrosion around the heater , will deal with that once the car is completely stripped.



also started disconecting hoses on the engine , found a little bit of black oil in the tubo inlet , not sure if that means theirs a turbo problem or not?




had a good look around the front cross member and all seems well , no corrosion at all



next week end ill tackle the rest of the engine ancillaries ready for engine removal
