Anyway, she who must be obeyed now content with our main transport I was on the lookout for something to fill my needs, hopefully I may be able to actually keep this one...

Not imaginatively named admittedly, but suitable due to the last 59 years resulting in quite a bit of her structure being remade from tacked on tin, underseal and filler
So off into the garage for a little surgery as and when I get the chance, hopefully she will be on the road again for spring next year, we shall see. I've started on the drivers side, and though I don't intend to unpick every repair she has ever had I'm aiming for a structurally sound and hopefully reasonably tidy little runaround.

I flicked a few patches off the inner sill with nothing more than a screwdriver

I thought this little sill end repair was particularly nice
