These are some pics of my series 1 1750 coupe
started rubbing back the body
fitted some Koni on the front

the rust isn't as bad as i thought

thanks Scott
hopefully after  christmas it will be ready to paint and register.
The interior has been retrimmed at some stage but not in original pattern
It was originally a brown interior.The dash has been recovered which i didn't do
cost around $600 from previous owner.

hi Colin, yeah the interior isn't too bad just needs a good clean and top of back seat retrimmed.
Thinking of painting silver or red
don't like green much
I was surprised there is very little rust in the floor for a 40 year old car
