If you get stuck I have a screen you can have. But getting to Aberdeen might be the problem!

Thats a nice looking car, another green early 70's SL, they seem to have survived well.

A wee update... I got the car completely stripped and put it on its side.

Then I started stripping off the old underseal. :( c*@p job.

Its kept the car well, but there are some rusty bits I wouldnt have found till they were big holes!
