Sorry I meant as long as its safe to use on a road is what we're looking for. Want to keep as original as possible onviosuly safety must come first.

Want to keep the body and paintwork as it is. Ideally get all the mechanical side of things restored to a modern standard. Everything else ( cosmetic ) replaced but keeping it as original as possible.

We have approx £6k to throw into it if needs it. Obviously that's without the need to replace the chassis or bulkhead.

No worries at all mate. I'll keep you posted how things progress

That would have been ideal and greatly appreciated but I completely understand ( covid )

Your absolutely right, i didn't think of the footwells. We are both excited to see where this journey takes us as this is all completely new to us. Thanks again for the advice, much appreciated
