Re: V8 finally started after 3 years of sitting, over the mo

Hello, another update, LH wing now off, to get to the bolt at the top of the wing on the inside - had to remove the heater and access in via the vent hole.

Well today was spent trying to remove the lh wing. Got front grill off, unplugged the loom, found more rust within the passenger footwell, Getting to the bolts up the inside of the wing on the bulk head is proving a pain in the arse. Quick job like hell! My friends 6 year old likes to drive the land...

I am also working outside on a gravel driveway With no big lift and football pitch size gardens with whare house size garages that all you Aus...
