I like that too.
Is this car a 2000 year model on a W plate by any chance.

Hi No it’s a 1997 on R .
Can you tell me how many images you can see as it’s looks like just one and I uploaded 4 ?

You loaded them but when you do an upload you need to do a 'return/enter' before you load the next one.

Edit your post and find in the line of gibberish [/url][url]. put a return in the middle and that will sort it.

Cool. I thought it might be an old fiends car.
Nice looking car

Looks good,you’ve had a busy 4weeks

[33sport]

Yes I have, the car needed the entire inside taken out as there was about 1 1/2 of water inside and the seat bases were completely rotten and rusted through.
So I installed heat proof material and then foil backed underlay/sound proof foam, didn’t want to move the battery so made a recess for a new bigger battery.
All the fuses and relays were rusty so cleaned up and replaced were needed. new battery and all earth cables replaced.
New seat belts as all were rusty and not working properly, despite passing an mot in May by the previous owner??

Tbo haven’t stopped until now as on holiday!!

I’m sweating just reading what you’ve done in a short amount of time,well worth the effort it’s looking very smart.

Looks amazing! Any in-progress pictures? What did you do about the seat bases/foam?

[33sport]

Dried the foam out and then used stainless steel square wire mesh and the supports held in place by wire stringers.
Sorry don’t have any photos as forgot to take some before I put them back in😬
Wired brushed the frames and anti rust paint to finish off.
