The dog gets less doggy

When I saved this car from being scrapped, it seemed solid in a lot of places but the floor was shot. It had the usual rust on front wings and rear wheel arches, the windscreen surround and the sills.
It looked like this:
The floor was replaced (thanks Mike) - this is before it was primed and painted
So today has taken a long time to arrive, but I have now started to get the car looking less like a wreck and more like it should. I am like a kid with a new toy (only had it back 4 hours!)
Tomorrow starts the task of putting all the chrome and bits back on. The inside is still very rough but I feel I am starting to get somewhere. At the end of the day, this little car didn't become a baked bean can and that gives me some sort of sense of achievement. A long way still to go but I'm chuffed
