She now has some metal in the boot floor and the new rear valance is on   :smiley:









The front end has been cut off and binned it! We have also started to clean up and paint the front and rear subframes too.

More metal added today we are waiting for panels for the boot so work started on the rear quarter and  heelboard repair - the subframe bolts snapped when we removed them and it was rotten anyway.
