that footwell is in near perfect compared to mine which must of
been used by Fred Flintstone. i could see the wheel from inside
on both footwell and the road underneath as i drove along and if
i pressed the brake hard the whole bulkhead flexed.

Wow, maybe I am lucky! The off side one isn't too bad at all at
first glance, the wing is coming off tomorrow so will know for
sure then.

Great to see you are getting into it and do it properly.
Like the others say, take your time, finish the thing you're
doing and please make sure the electrics are as good as the rest
of what you're doing as 90 % of the problemswe have with clients
cars are sparks based...
Have Fun !!

Thanks Arjan, the electrics definitely need some work although
will hopefully be partial loom replacement rather than a
complete Loom

Time for a bit of an update. The Bulkhead is nearly stripped,
just foxed by the lack of a 1 inch socket to get the steering
wheel off and leyland tool 600000 for the drop arm, although may
get round taking the drop arm off by unbolting box complete with
bracket etc.

I have had the last week off so had the occasional break while
the kids played at friends to crack on with Proper Job.
Following on from my last post I ended up removing the steering
box and support bracket to save having to remove the drop arm.
The steering box is in good condition with no leaks so will get
a clean up and oil change but otherwise won't be touched.
I found the bulkhead strip down pretty depressing to be honest.
The lower dash is rotten at the corners while the wiper motor
cover steel work was non existent, not unexpected but annoying
none the less. I also disconnect the dash from the wiring loom
with the intention of replacing the loom but on close inspection
the main loom is in good condition so I could have saved some
work removing it all from the dash. On the upside I have saved a
few hundred notes, although I still need to replace the rear
loom. The bulkhead is now off and ready to go for repairs and
galving:

for what goes to the rear of the motor 7 core cable will save
you a few pennies.

Thanks Dave, the costs are starting to mount up so could do with
saving a bit.

Engine out now, pushing on now as loads to do before the
bulkhead goes back on.

Down to the chassis now, paint going on tomorrow and hopefully
brake pipes and electrics on the chassis by the end of the week.

New springs are on order, one of the rear springs had broken as
well as burst with rust:
