Happy New Year

Hope everyone is well !!

Not been about for a bit but would like to wish you all a happy new year!!

Gladys has at last found shelter, so it's time for a bit of a spruce up for the old gal !!! Can't wait to get started !!! So, I shall no doubt be about alot more, asking lots of questions on the way when we get stuck !!!

Tim, loved your bit in the mag!!! Looking very clean and tidy there I must say

Happy New year Mel!

good to hear your spucing, keep us up to date with progress

Will do Tim.

We are really looking forward to getting stuck in but gonna have to get some thermals I reckon

We are gonna start by tidying up the exterior a bit, still unsure whether we are going for a complete respray or whether to just try to match in the front panel with the rest, but that might prove quite difficult. There is a patch of rust near the bumper on the front which is gonna need taking out and a new piece welding in, and a repair to the side door, but that's pretty much it as far as we can see! New seals all round and a tidy up of the deluxe trim. Oh and the sunroof needs a bit of tinkering to get it to sit straight !!!

Then it's on to the interior !!! Dan will build most of that himself while I decide on the fabrics And then there are the electrics That might test our patience a bit but will be worth it in the end !!! The horn beeps if you lean on the steering wheel which I always seem to do when trying to get her into reverse and there are a few loose wires under the dash which MUST be there for something, just can't figure out what !!!!!

Hopefully she will be completed enough to take her to the south coast in the summer, fingers crossed !!!!!

quite a lot to be getting on with there Mel, nothing too major though... atleast it can be carried out in a 'rolling restoration' style and wont have to come off the road as such...

plenty of advice floating around here if you need it

Yeah that's the thing, nothing too major so we can still keep her running !!! Can't believe she started first time even after this awful cold weather !!! :cheers:
