sig1404 you have a great collection of cars - all a bit unusual and well executed. Did you do all the work yourself? That orange Honda Express brings back memories of one that my mate had - 1985? - when he was sixteen and which he used to do heroic runs down the A30 to a newsagent that would give him surplus 'adult art' magazines which he then rented out to school mates! When his parents moved out they said I could have the Express but it was too far gone, never having had a roof over it.

The Sill was like a Tea Bag   All good now though nothing some stonechip and a colour match wont put right  Floor cut out on drivers side  Le French Mouse has decided to fill the chassis with le Acorns  |

So thats it for now one side is now solid same again if not worse on the other side but I work away a lot so its going to be a few weeks before it gets done I will keep updating, turned round ready to start the other side  |

Holy moly!!
This is going to be a stonking save and rebuild.
Good work going on there!
Any plans for the interior?
The seat coverings look toast, will you be looking towards getting it back to as it once was or will you be going for a total revamp and upgrade?

Nope seats will stay as they are with maybe a blanket thrown on, I really want the car to look like it was found but to be rock solid also going to polish whatever paint is left |

You are making short work of that, sorry i didnt realise it was that bad underneath but I'm really glad its gone to a good home and getting the love it needs. I think its great you are making her solid and rolling with her. Exactly the plan i had for her. Looking awesome and keeping an eye here still just to get the updates. Thanks for sharing them
