as it presently is
thanks guys, the car was laid up for about 5 years, some of which under cover and some not, so the pictures make it look better than it actually is !
the plan is to keep it as original as posibble but improving where I can and when it will not detract from value so any mods wil need to be reveresed easily.
probably enjoy it as it is through next summer and then put it into a specialsit boidy shop for a full stripdown, acid dip and rebuild.
