Looks like a good base to start from.
Trim parts are almost non existent for the interior so don't throw anything away.

thanks , when i did my 2a 88 ,in lockdown i had to make all the outriggers as could not get them ,i think these for the 110 are about £40 + each ,so me being a tight old sod ,and having the steel to hand ,thats £80 to spend someware else ,whitch if fact thats what the springs [all four] cost nos

Nice work! I really like where you're going with this.

Thanks very much ,I can see a end to it now , they certainly take up time with the side ways steps ,I think you know all about that your self as well ,being a station waggon, seat moves back far enough to make it almost comfortable to drive ,,your are doing some fine work your self ,just look forward to the day it's done

I know exactly how you feel. My Stage One is sat inside my tent garage on damp soil ground. The wind and rain is battering it and it's about as inviting as a spell in purgatory. I'm itching to get on and get more done, and so fed up with the weather. Still, when spring arrives I'll be able to get stuck back in.
