Yeah... they hide those soundproofing bags all over the damn place. And it's kinda haphazard too. Sometimes you'll find one... sometimes more.

Dont want you all to think I've been slacking! Bodywork is taking ages.......
Heres the fender in the middle of fettling.
Patch made and joddled and spot welded in place of the lower light
and sealed off
Heres a rusty lip!
and repaired
And heres how much I've reduced the fender lip by. A good 12mm cut off!

Is it really halfway through september already? Wow, time flies.
But, I'm on schedule because the bodywork so far is finished. All filling and etch priming done
Now its time to get ready for the big floorpan cut!
Engine out next, all doors removed, car up in the air, interior stripped out totally, firewall stripped back to bare bones, metal supports welded in, springs removed, 6 jacks in place and we are cutting!!
Watch this space.........................

The plan is to get everything stripped out and get the car in the air, reove the engine and brace for cutting - all within the next 2 weeks.
Interior totally stripped out..
Engine out next weekend.
