The first thing needed is
1) One of the wings may need replacing. In the last case scenario, I would prefer to keep the original wing on, so I might cut another one up
2) a few things aren't working as they should mainly light
3) either a full body respray or touch-up in places.

I did a few things today and checked how bad the wing would be easier to replace, but I don't want to mess with panel gaps, so I will buy a wing and cut the section needed off, gave her a clean and polish as wellhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f5bbe5b0f4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...131a652600.jpg

Not had an update in a while been busy, so what's happened since the last one? I do not have much time to do anything on the car, but today I decided to find it sometime before work, so I woke up early and tried to find the source of the leak. I couldn't see it, but I have a rough idea of where it is now. After that decided to fit the wheels I bought for it and, while doing so, noticed they were dated 1999, so that's a plus. One thing I do want to do this year is to spend time on the 75 most significant thing of 2023 or to convert it to LHD https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...09331de573.jpg

I just bought a new front wing that im cutting to take the piece that is rotten on the 75 don't want to replace the entire wing with it being such an early car need to find a place that can respray the wing and potentially where the car is dented and scratched then once that's done wheels need refurbishing and the stereo system replacing and the original radio refitting and interior sorting.

I'm 50/50 to get a set of custom headlights. If I do, I will get a different set custom, so the originals aren't messed with

I need to source an LHD car and fit all the LHD parts, like the dash and stuff. Later in the year might look for a 75 in a breakers yard in Europe and go over a take the parts off one

Does anyone know of a place that can get blue tooth fitted to the radio? I don't want any blue tooth receiver in the open want it hidden and fitted to the radio itself

One more thing it needs is a service, but it's not essential yet

Any particular reason you want it to be LHD?

it's actually quite a big job! What with steering racks, wiring looms, pedal box, dash etc etc.

I purchased a gadget off amazon that allowed me to turn my standard radio to DAB, (Which I don't actually use) but more importantly, made my radio Bluetooth. I said I don't use the DAB, simply because there is more choice, and far far better reception by streaming Internet radio on my phone, and playing it through the stereo via Bluetooth.

I've located the gadget in the armrest cubby hole, which I never used anyway. You really need to hardwire it to the stereo though for the best connection. Hardwire, as in opening up the stereo and finding the wires that go to the cd player, sacrificing the cd player for the connection.

Moving to the USA, and in 2024 plan on taking the car over once im settled

So a few things have happened since the last update all bad so where do I start?

Lifted the rear seat and noticed a bit of rust at the offside on the bar so got a wire brush to it and a hole appeared so that's now on the list of repairs

Secondly, I've noticed quite a bit of rust showing on the offside rear underneath so I hope it is just rust but won't find out till the summer when my family plans on opening a garage https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fc420458f5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...65f14de15c.jpg
