This was an easy project, compared to some in the past. She's a 1973 G60 with a 350 chev, turbo 400. So, she scoots along quite well. ATM she's straight gas but will have petrol shortly. Anyway, enough dribble, onto the pics
The PO took the roof off to fix the rust, but found it was too hard.
In case you were wondering, the car was too tall to fit in the shed, hence the rims with no tyres.
When you soak body panels in molasses this is how it turns out.

Looks awesome. Really well done. I would love to do a resto on an Mk shorty.
See AB! The front of the 60. You can see a woodfire oven in the middle and a ledge on either side to rest your beverage.
