A while back I bought this Scimitar for no other reason than to help with the mental health issues I've been suffering. The plan being to use it pretty much as my daily runner.
Apart from the brakes being soft the car actually drove almost like a modern car rather than a car 52 years old.
When I got it home I got it up on stands to work on the brakes.
It sat for a few weeks before I could gather up the energy to start on it. On checking everything it became clear pretty quickly I was going to have to do some remedial work, really this was highlighted to me when the passenger rear side window came out in my hand because the rubbers where gone! In fact all the rubbers where shot so I moved it into the garage thinking still it was going to be a rolling resto.
Aye that didn't go to plan.
Once in the garage my old got the better of me, the glove box lid was annoying me. so I decided to recover it.
Which promptly lead to the entire centre consul being redone in leather.
The switch bit,
Well look the whole lot was taken out, dash, seats, panels and roof.
When I got to that stage strangely the car was no longer rolling, so stuff it I decided to do the lot in one go, I say one go, its still ongoing,,,, months later.
