Your doing really well on this car. Must admit when I first looked at the photos on ebay I thought it was a lost cause. Full marks on rescuing it. Wont be long now before your cruising around.

That's a scary bit of corrosion on that inner wing, nicely welded.

[HONEY318]

thanks guys, i did have some help on the welding, its been a while since i welded. but soon got back into the swing. i've had 1 of the engineers at work make a new battery tray and wash bottle holder to go back in. i'll get some pics tommorow. also i have knocked out the worst of the dent in the rear panel. photo;s to follow. but yes its getting there.. poor ole thing. and YES i'm still enjoying it all..lol.
but when i say to the kids, hey, lets go for a ride in lizzy , it will all be worth it..hee hee.

If you are carrying kids in the back then I strongly advise the fitment of rear seat belts. There are mounting points for static lap belts already provided. Securon 210 is probably suitable, available from a number of sources.
