Collection day – 425 views01/10/2000 The day that I collected the car. You can see that quite a bit of work has gone into finding out what is filler and what is metal.

Collection day – 419 views01/10/2000 The front is very rusty... The areas where the lights were pretty much fell apart, along with the front valence. The black area that looks like shadow is actually black Hammerite. (That is going to be fun to remove)

Slightly cramped working conditions – 395 views21/10/2000 Not the most spacious of workshops but it'll have to do. Looks like I will be working on one site at a time.
