Floors now solid just the handbrake bracket to go.

8C2B03F4-B2CF-4DB3-AA6E-F3BAB2004DC5_zps

And for a bit of colour the os door skin to go.

5D62C890-6513-4F6D-B526-BAD8296D9C2D_zps

Welding wise i have the ns door step and the front end to.

But need a bonnet and a new grinder first.

Then the fun of bodywork prep!

Sure ben it was £32 delivered from the ebay.

Brilliant feature of it is that the tool to change disc fits into the handle (the red bit sticking out the handle) i'm forever losing it when i put it down and forget where i've put it. Sold it for me

I'll get the link when im on the laptop.
