Progress is quick on the front panels. Now you will get to see everything easier

I was gonna leave taking the front end off till the floors and rear arches were done but figured it would make it easier to remove the engine. I guess that's the next job

Yeah, turns over by hand. Never had it running though. Will get it stripped and rebuilt when out

That's good to hear. A rebuild plus a fresh coat of paint and that motor will look as good as new.

Holy Crap! Chipped away the sound deadening stuff off the floor and found extra ventilation. Inner and outer sills on the list for mini fair
