The sheds due for a clean out and a rearrangement, just got to get shot of the last of the Corolla parts (previous sickness - all better now).

I also love the orange paint work, I had a quick clean and polish of a few areas and it's going to clean up really well. As for rust none to speak of aside from a 4 -5 inch long seam in the drivers side front wheel well - I'll post a pic over the week end.
