Looks great! Limeflower is a great colour!
Good luck with it!

Yes, she does look good. Lime Flower and Harvest Gold - truly evocative colours from the '70's. You'll never get a car in anything like those colours these days. This might even be a good thing!
Tony runs one of the most comprehensive club spares schemes I've ever come across; definitely one of the good guys.
What are you aiming to achieve over the winter? She looks smart, so I assume that problems are not related to chopping out vast amounts of rust and warming your garage by welding!

Thanks for the kind words. She's pretty sound but she's been off the road since around 1992. The previous owner topped up everything ( including the tank to half full) so she's not too bad. Need to get drain the tank and em wash it through. Brake fluid has gone and both brake and clutch pedals are on down. Probably fully sort out brake pipes etc anyhow for good measure.
Welding wise it does require some attention to outer sills. Both sides midway of the rear doors are shot at.
Having trouble removing the thermostat housing. The two collars that the radiator support rests on. These collars are stuck solid!
Cheers.
Dave.
