well yes there is progress being made, the interior has been stripped out, dash, console, seats, trimmings etc.
The passenger side doors front and rear have been stripped and off to Wals for him to make them all niiice again,
those two have the worst of the rust in them.
Im trying to sort out a guy to paint it for me, along way away I know but I can' wait. Just waiting for him to give me the price for paint hopefully ill hear back from him later this week.

Great minds think alike! lol I went for the Violet violet thing
altho it's more of a blue rather than purple. That would look awesome with an orange pearl through it! Dooo it!

I got a quote done for the paint today, not too bad for the purple and orange
Thought it would be more now i just gotta be somewhat patient......... not one of my strong points
