Hey Guys, Small update on some slow progress. Started off Saturday morning with intentions of working on getting the gaps better around the boot lid. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u245/smoothvan/Garry/boot%20001_zpsnkuyyfs4.jpg Thought it was a good idea to strip the paint off to do so around t...

looking forward to what else you'll change... whats on the cards next? Working my way around the back of the car next. Gap the boot lid up properly, fill in a few required holes... trailer plug, badge holes and the like. Might look at doing a cable release on the boot lid to get rid of the key hole...

looking good... nice and neat you may find a bit of boot bracing under those locations for the hinges and stuff in those spots... (not saying it can't be done) this is what i did to fit them neatly... a little bit more centre than you want them but it works... i don't plan to ride in the back anywa...

Got one side of the rear window area rust repairs finished up. Started off by using some butt weld clamps to get thing into position. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u245/smoothvan/Garry/rust%20015_zps7juc5mik.jpg http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u245/smoothvan/Garry/rust%20016_zpsoic9zkof.jpg ...

Cheers guys :) NoMad, I do have a lot of ideas running through my head. The enjoying part for me is working on them and hearing feed back from others when out 'n' about... I'm a fan of the term 'refined original'... keeping things looking like the factory could of produced it given the right circums...
