ok, done a bit more work on the bulk head/ dash board

took off the remaining parts of the vents (with a hammer) to find that there is a little more rust then i first thought.

also, iv took the rear bumper off, and yet again, rust!!

erm... oh took the back box off, then fired him up..... loud muchly!!

took out the Smiths, including the oil pressure guage, forgot i have done this when i fired him up, luckly only a tiny bit of oil came into the car.

a little concerned however, about the scuttle, looking up at them from the holes, they look a little curroded...

ill let the pictures do the talking!

im going to go and pick up the new heads on the 17th!!

quite happy with what i have got done today, i know its not much, but hey...

With out vent, passenger side


Damage to the scuttle? passenger side


No more clocks!


The huge hole on the drivers side, thats what the plating covered!


The plating!


The damage to the rear valence, not too sure if the boot floor has been damaged or not :S



so, thats todays work
