well i have been busy. not in the workshop but in work. 7 days a week so no time to spend on rebuild. have been buying bits and pieces so i suppose the end is getting closer. haven't seen the car for 5 or 6 weeks but hopefully get back into it soon, work allowing. a few parts have arrived.
my 3rd set of new headlights. never know when they will be handy.

new indicaters, probably won't use as i want amber.

another gear knob, thanks to mate with time to go to car boot sales (£5:00)

scuttle panel in good condition with clips screws and covers. one corner section slightly damaged but i have another perfect set.

the project started as a 4x4 conversion but due to not wanting to cut the gearbox tunnel i decided to go rear wheel drive. my mate has just bought a genuine cossie shell in moonstone and wants to swap for mine as he is going rwd. i have a lot of parts off the shell already as i purchased the complete front bumper with fogs / indicators, sideskirts and arches and complete tailgate. if i swap or persuade him just to sell it to me, i will probably revert to my original plan and go 4x4. i know that will upset some of you as 3drs are supposed to be rwd but thats my choice. will update when decision has been made on shell and post pics. if my mate decides to rebuild himself with the extra parts i have acquired i will get him to join and post his own rebuild thread.
