He sounds a good guy to know!
The car is actually pretty sound, bodywise, but looks worse than it is. Didn't help the gearbox was ripped out, but once I find a replacement and swap in my spare Monza engine, it'll be a big step forward. Would want to get engine bay painted while the engine was out.
The rest can wait until I've got my spare screen arrive from UK with some other parts. They're coming into Chch, so no need to impose on you for those too
It's a longterm project, but they can look like this when completed .....
