Re: The Dirty 'D'  A closer view .... i have ordered a steering UJ off the internet ready to sort the steering out, it will now bolt together this side of the toe board so a bigger boot/seal will be needed..

Re: The Dirty 'D' No...... not yet Neil, the body is back off and upside down to weld the sills and cut and remove the old overlapping metal from the rear inner wings, the front of the sills need some rust repairs plus the new boot floor is going to need some ribs on the underside... The good news is the new chassis from Roy at Ecas has turned up and a managed to get a very cheap secondhand air system for it too... Photos to follow, going into work to carry on
