typical rotten uk car, lots of rot around previous bad repairs, luckily in the past i have had floorpans sills done, otherwise i think we have been ready for the skip :shock:

welding is now 80% done the boys from NRC having made all the panels needed....excellent work

Hi Rod,

great work so far. The shifter is on the way to you. Looks much better in the meantime than the picture you showed here (which is an old one). You´ll have it in a few days.

Good Luck

Hi Rod,

have you come forward with your project. Would be interested if the shifter is already installed. Can you please give an update.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks

Martin
