    Hi all, i drilled all the spot welds today and removed the panel behind the drivers and passengers head. The fuel breather vent hose runs under this channel between the top of the filler neck and the right hand tank. It had caught round the back of one of the bonnet hinges and chafed a hole in the pipe. Not very good, the owner had said there was sometimes fumes in the cabin, probably this. Worth a check of this pipe. It seems to be the original one as I don't know how you would get the thing through there as it snakes around all the hinges and brackets! Will post pics of it!
    I also started to remove the right hand door slam panel spot welds today so that will be the next panel to come out, the whole bit around the side quarterlight windows will need changed.
    Graham, there is insulation under the panel behind the driver and passengers head, more moisture traps!

    Hi Graham, the one right behind the drivers head on a GT that the rear window sits onto, will get a pic of it,

    Oh that bit. slightly different on the GTs but that car is sure worse than mine by a long way. in fact i hope the owner has a strong passion for the car as it surely won't be cost effective to repair. my car is going to cost all in about it's current market value to restore and thats with me doing a whole ton of the work myself.
    Regards, Graham.

    Hi graham, we have costed it out to just under market value, I am far too cheap I think! It should be more desirable with the Campags and arches, it will be very nice when done. There really is not many well restored cars out there in the UK I have heard, much bodging (like this one) seems to have been done! They are also 35 years old some of them now as well!

    Al, Is that taking into consideration that before the work the car probably had a market value of i guess around £30k?
