Don't have any before,it wasn't bad,previous owner had done a resto but wasn't great so I redid it.
Who is doing yours and are you re-using the existing parts or getting everything new?

wow your's looks amazing.. I'm going to try using as many of the original parts as possible, i'll replace anything that won't restore back to original if i can find them. It has only done 29k miles so shouldn't be too bad.
