Yeah, I can see them now. But, I just noticed I only see an icon for your sigpic, like I originally saw for all the pics in the previous note. Scrolling back through earlier notes, I also just see an icon instead of a sigpic. Maybe it's just me, but I offer it as information.

I have got the gutter pretty much how I need it! I have some leading to do where the roof joins the C pillar first though

You do great work. This obviously isn't your first rodeo on body work.

Thanks for the kind words
I have learnt the hard way how to do bodywork over the years
I have restored a few cars now, and here in the UK most resto's start off with a rotten bodyshell!
So unfortunately its nothing really new to me
Truth be known, its this kind of work that I enjoy the most

Not much of an update, as I have not been able to get out to the workshop until today.
I have finished off the drivers side pillar, so now that's put to bed I can continue stripping parts. So I started with the dash and found yet another mouse nest, this time with a dead rodent still in residence

Had a bit of luck when stripping the dash down. I found the centre console badge
It must have dropped down through the vent at some time in its lifetime

Also, this dropped down from behind the dash on the passenger side, any idea where its from???

Could it be a support bracket for the glovebox? As mine just had remnants left! It fell from that area when I was tugging around

This may be a false memory,I seem to have more & more of them with older age,have you ever heard of the Mandela effect? So I'm not sure but seems like I remember tracing around one of them to make another one, so it is possible there are 2 of them & may mirror each other. But it is stuck in my head now.
so if I figure it out I'll let you know. hopefully someone can help us both.
