Default frst H227 LWO restore/project car

my brother and i went halfs on project car to do up
here she is when we got the car it was a right mess and everyone said that it not worth carrying on(but if you lisened to everyone else your life would be boring)but anyway.it hadnt been cleaned for 12 years that the old fella had it. so the inside was ripped out and started again (i mean the headlining was green and the carpet was a inch thick in mud and crap.
the outside was flat so we stripped it down and found out that it needed n/s rear1/4 and a n/s front wing.both front and rear panles has gone and the drivers door needed replacing too.the o/s rear arch had to be done too and just one more thing that had to be replaced was the boot.but its back from the bodyshop now .just waiting on the bodykit and bumpers to come back now b4 we can finish the outside of the car and start on the engine(which is sweet)
