Didn't get much done today but all the windows are now out now, will be working on squaring up the front end  this week then paint soon hopefully. Pleasantly surprised again at the lack of rust under the seals :D not bad for 24 year old car!









Just the metal clip rusted anyone have one kicking about?  :D

Heading over the Severn bridge!





Thinking of painting the centres the same colour as my Golf and polishing up the dishes 8)

I was going to get them painted the same time as the bumpers mate so yeah they would have been. When we got it back to my gf's dad's workshop we were discussing the colour for the wheels and both decided doing the wheels the same colour might look a bit too much and 'poncey' leaning towards gloss black centres, gold bolts and polished/chromed dishes...

I think the wheels colour matched would be a nice touch
