Hi Roland,
Yes, I have said many times that I wish I had imported
rather than start on the RHD car, but I'm too deep into it
now. It is exactly what someone intent on importing
needs...a LHD car to start with.
Still has some rust and no sill trims, though. So what if
you have to do the sills again, it's a LHD car and seems
rather solid. I would like pictures of the top of the
cowl at the windscreen corners. Bubbles there and at the
TOP of the D post indicate really bad rust that was not
addressed at the last restoration. You can have good
sills and still have major problems if you don't know
where to look. My first P5B Coupe was hopeless even by UK
standards...rust up into the roof.
Somebody in the US needs to snag this one.
Roverpantingly,
Kent K.
