Can you still buy front and rear glass ruber seals for these cars?
This old car is taking some ironing out AND SOME SERIOUS METAL WORKING!
It didnt look too bad till i started taking the paint off!
I had to remake the rear wheelarch, the trailing quater, about 12" of the lower quater before the wheelarch then i found all the structure in the lower quater was dust and someone had cut a 3 foot hole in the rocker pannel and glued a horrid bit of steel in its place with sealer so that meant remaking the sill!
Then i started poking holes in th inner sill so i had to remake that so now i have the front floors to contend with and the webbing under that!
Does anyone know were i can get this webbing?
WHAT A NIGHTMARE! :shock: I will keep you all updated on the cars progress from now on, talk to you all later.

Lookin' good Matty... I sure am envious of you folks with an actual garage to work in! REALLY hard to get anything done outside in the open but just can't afford anything else right now... Great job on the metal work there Matty!
