Black holes

Hmmm... Don't really know where to start but here goes.
Went to the ICCCR at Harrogate and bought some really good looking repair panels for the sills and floor, jacking points etc. as mine have disappeared into black holes! So started to strip the interior ready for cutting out some rusty metal. I will post some pics of the progress but as this is very labour intensive I wont be blogging to much, keep checking back!

Started by stripping out the interior. Front and rear seats removed and carpet, fuel tank out and pipework. 
Stripping out the interior
On the drivers side the inner sill is not too bad, the floor has taken the biggest hit, this will have to be cut out and new panels welded in, some work is needed around the pedal plate as well.
