    So the strip down starts, got all the front brakes apart, it's going to need new cylinders, shoes and drums. Also started stripping all the front end apart so the bodywork can start.

    I'm gonna get the olds in it eventually (when I have a bit more room, my garage is tiny) so threw a gasket kit and a coat of paint on the six for now. it will give me time to rebuild the olds and I can drive the car in the meantime
