Your car is going to be a cracker Hans. Do you plan to paint it with the panels on ? What colour is it going to be? Sorry Hans, I should have read a couple of posts further up!
 
Yes i paint it finally with the panels on.
The roof and inside are alreaddy done also inside of doors and inside , and corners from the panels at this way we can repair small damage's and corrected minimum misalignment.
 
Oeff!! a really hard job, today spent at the bonnet, the lock works nice now but i have worked the holes to one side and not 100% happy yet but i little better than yesterday, also put shims at the left front door the 5/16 bolts from doorhinge at the body very thigten and drilled 6mm and after that with an hammer an allen key in the hole and loose the bolts but now i need new ones.
 
Hi , panels are fitted now , only change the 5/16 screws at the door hinges .
Today i cleaned the old carpet set with carpetcleaner and the rightside is acceptable but the leftside is very damaged its here driverside i called people here if the know a used leftside but its very hard to find this , so i was thinking maybe somebody who changed his carpet or broke a car maybe you have the leftside for sale because in your country it is the passengers side ? if you have please let me know.
 
Hi ,it looks like more and more a car.
Finished the carpets now , original floor mats with special thanks to Mr McKenzie , and i buyed a carpet and cut by myself.
Now looking for front chair series 1 .Mine are damaged at the top from the sun.
Some pics you can see the result.
Regards Hans

Looking good Hans. Now you have to find some dark vinyl like the heel pad on the passenger side carpet, and sew a similarly sized heel pad on the drivers side. Shouldn't be difficult.
 
Hi , some pictures from my progression :)
Parts mounted on the car so when the car is sprayed i know everything fit well ( and nice to see it with parts on it)
Recollor the rear seats from black to creme(beige).

Very motivating to see everything in one piece again! Your rear seats look very ood indeed. And it will be wonderful to see the final coats of paint applied.

Well done!

Chris
