Try again later Chris - i've noticed postimages does a back up or similar every so often and some links are temporarily disabled, it usually returns to normal a few days later.

She's back!!!
Can't believe the difference, she drives so well now whereas before she was frankly terrifying to drive! The list of work done (and the bill) was pretty extensive:
- Full respray
- Sill and door bottoms repaired
- The dreaded rust on the sunroof surround repaired
- 29 years of car park dents and dings
- Front suspension, ball joints and steering rack all replaced and repaired
- Full service, new plugs oils etc
- Headlining and A & C pillars re-trimmed.
- Interior generally smartened up, seats treated etc
- Complete set of new tyres
- New fuel filler pipe, thanks to the chap that's re-manufacturing them.
I've got a few other things I want to do, she'll be getting a double DIN android auto head unit and a reversing camera plus I'd like to tidy up the engine bay a little. This wasn't really a priority and my brief to the restoration company was to get her into good running condition however I may carry on a bit further now.

Flipping amazing. Well done, especially for the massive commitment involved.
