mint dashboard! no extra holes like the one that came with my car

some of the junk ive saved. inner and outer fenders, outers need work, splash panels that go below the firewall, bonnet, centre floor insert, engine and trans and the interior mouldings around the windows. a lot of fiddly bits that you cant get anymore too.

bonnet needs some lovin

thats about it for today... jd has started repairing the sections that were poorly repaired below the c pillar and has a bunch of sheets folded ready to repair the bonnet (hood) and around the bootlid (or trunk for you yanks)

Nearly finished with the 52. Should be finished dismantling it tomorrow. Ordered a boot floor (trunk pan) and will order the rubber kit tonight. Working too much does pay off after all.

Shit out of luck. The breakdown phone rang (bound to happen on a long weekend) with about 1-1/2 hours of work to go on stripping the parts car. Got the diff out, fuel tank, og fuel line, various other little bits. No photos today, had to leave before i got a chance to take any. Ah well. Next weekend!

Wound up stripping the 52, all i can use is out of the car now. A sad and sorry end for what could of been a nice car if someone cared about it 30 years ago. Started dismantling the rear axle for a checkup and a new pinion seal, but again i got called to a job. Dont have all the parts to finish it today anyhow. Photos soon (?)

The weatherseals and such arrived. Hardly riveting stuff, but it was something of a major purchase. That stuff isnt cheap when you add it all up. Been working my butt off, next pay will be a ripper if the tax man doesnt ream the fuck out of me
