    Restoration setbacks that make you sigh. . . photos only, no text!

    I'll go first. Rules are, no more than 10 characters, if it needs explanation, it takes the fun out of it.

    I hope this is not your car John ..

    BTW do you already have your antenna mounted (and a hole)? If not you can opt for the radio delete plate.

    Oh my, that sucks! Both pictures! As a wise man (or was it a wise a$$?) once said, "Keep the Faith". I'm sure I'll have pics to contribute as I get a little further along.

    Both are mine. Note how Vermin ate the top of my perfect glove box. I think I'm going to send that piece of the dash to Bruce Crawford. I haven't drilled the hole yet but I gotta have TUNES.

    I never met HCP a/k/a the Maestro, but his tales of persistence are an inspiration, e.g. removing the gland nut from a 356 with a ten foot breaker bar, etc.

    Yes that is a rabbits nest, and yes they are ears you can see in the middle - actually in a TR4A that I have since restored, but in the spirit I think....
    Delayed things until mum moved them after a few days.
