Also did a little engine bay revamp. Been wanting to change the hoses for a while now as wasn’t keen on the blue, and also sourced a cambelt cover and a couple of other little bits.

Then some interior work. Drivers bolster was worn as usual but not ripped. Found a local leather restorer who tidied up bolster and another couple of bits, delighted with this job!

And finally was desperate to get rid of the chrome sill steps. A local guy had started producing patterns covers from dark vinyl, and although not quite as good as the Ford ones, they are a massive improvement on the horrible chrome ones.
