Looks like your doing a nice job, good to see another getting saved, I remember when these were a common sight on the road, I always wanted a grey one.

Also got some tiny paint imperfections sorted on the rear end. Thrilled to report the car has zero rust and has now been under sealed

Roll on a few years and the car still looks stunning. It has showed at Classics on Show in Stokesley for the last few years. I plan on giving her a full machine polish over the winter in preparation for 2018:
