xmas greetings , havent posted since sept, but just been chippen away on the camino when ive got time. Got the underside pretty much finished and starting on the interior. I have enclosed a few photos just to show off, hows this for a mint oridginal floor- which i have since covered with sound deading, plus was thinking of filling those inner body rails with expanding foam.
Everything one needs for a project like this has to come out of the states which doubles the cost,but i did purchase an A body exhuast kit from a speed shop here and adapted to suit-plus answered my own question i had earlier about the co2 sencor which i have now fitted into the collector of the dr side header.
cheers and Happy new year-Terry

Looks good! I would stay away from the expanding foam, it traps moisture and generates rust. Several manufacturers learned this the hard way. Ask Alfa Romeo how well that worked on the Alfasud in the 70's. Most were rotten away even in dry climate after less then 5 yrs.
