Very nice :thumbsup:

Looks like she's been reasonably well looked after.

I have to agree with Tim about painting-out behind the grill. Never used to notice it before, but now it jumps out and pokes me right in the eye :lol:

So...is it going to be chopped, tubbed, slammed, air-bagged, shaved and painted matt black Image, or are you more of a stock-as-a-rock kinda guy?

:arrow: :D

My wife had an all-wjite EK auto in the 80's.
It had a neat silver/grey interior.
All the ones I have seen in snowcrest white mono-color have had the red/silver interior, what is the interior color of this car?

Cheers
