Surfin the net looking at vids of 70 Roadrunners, OMG found a couple of old Youtube vids of my motor. It doesn't look much like that any more gone are the crusty arches and roached wiring! Still looked pretty fine, to me anyway.

Little more progress, engine now running on 8, still puffing out the breathers, but starting straight away. Power steering connected and bled, interior re-trimmed and glass ready to go in next. Just need the front wings... :roll:

Glass in, great job done on both front and rear by 14U windscreens, came out, on time and charged £150 + VAT, cheaper than National who wanted the car transported to their workshop and collected a week later! Happy to recommend them, nice chaps who know their stuff, nothing was a problem.


Still need the right wing :roll:
