This is how I purchased the car some 4 month ago, It doesn't look like that now.

This is the second Vet I have restored I did a 74 about 5 years ago and regreted selling ever since. As the kids were young we couldn't just leave them and go for a drive. But know it's see you later kids. I'm doing the work myself, But I think I may look for a spray painter, Know anyone?

I have a long way to go, My target is the middle of next year I get to do about 1 to 2 hours a day depending on when the wife gets home from her work.
I will be keeping people up dated on my progress.

Have you thought of putting Rack & Pinion Steering in instead of the box. Gives you more room in the engine bay.
Just food for thought.
Keep us posted. Should keep you out of trouble.

No I never gave it a though. I did it the same as the last vet I converted, next time maybe. Looks a lot cleaner / neater on you pics.
Cameron I noticed that your at Campbelltown, maybe after Xmas could I come and have a look?

It was LH when I purchased it, But I have since converted it to RH. The dashes have been changed over, fire wall changed and the steering box and steering wheel have been fitted up. The next to do is all the air conditioning and the vents.
