cheers 4 the replies lads

Reason for the resto is the dreaded "RUST"

Both sills were gone so its only right 2 cut them out and do it properly with lovely new 1s
Wings were okish but wit havin abit of rust in the passenger foot well thought id just whip them off and get right in there and make sure the rust dont come bk hense the new wings
Both door skins were startin 2come away but i found a "MINT" pair on an escort van of all things
Same with bootlid aswell,gone arond the bottom of the screen!
Ill pull my finger out and post some pics of what i found after i took the carpets out later on
Im in no rush 2 get her done a couple of mates(a panel beater and mechanic + me a novice) r gonna take our time on the old girl

Just a small update, done a little bit !
Passenger side is complete just starting drivers side



Ive still got to sort out the front panel but its not that bad



Drivers side was even worse than the other side


Not good but with a bit of time and effort itll turn out fine


Like i said before im in no rush to get her bk on the road as i dont wanna hurry things and fook them up!!!

Engine will soon b comin out so i can attack the engine bay!

Ill take some more pics 2mo and post them up!!!
