Did cross my mind because I'm getting new ones, but didn't want to damage anything else. I was nearly putting the GT on ebay ha ha

Heater and pedal box removed. Hope the clevis pins go in easier than getting out, or it's going on ebay

Looks like some serious progress is about to start Jimmy! That's a nice base for a restoration as it has lots of the original parts.


Looking forward to following this.

James, I may need to borrow your muscles to flip it

 

Vinay, God knows where I'll start ha ha

 

Mr wonder, it's not too bad to be honest, seen a lot worse on here. It's a whole new learning curve for me

Yes, a monthly rental, so the quicker the better. The depot is only a mile from home so no delivery cost, just a nervous drive home. Looked like a torpedo in the back of the van
