Well thought I found the worst -- but nope -- have a look at this.

its the drive shaft.
The person who changed the wheel bearings, didnt do a very good job.
It didnt have any grease around the axle, so it was completely rusted solid to the seperator,
and the inner bearings.

First weeks work.

Sunroof & roof aerial fitted.

Had a new Wool of England cloth headlining made, by a specialist.

The old one smelled so bad, that the company had to keep it in a sealed plastic bag, so it didnt stink up the workshop




Next was the rearend, I could finally see how the car looked, with the NOS US spec rearlights, I bought for it 7 years earlier .

We were now at the end of the road.
Here is Thomas - Lennart - Jesper & as usual my Mother in charge of the coffee.



Next step was to get the car back on the floor, so I could fit doors.
