so bit of an update,
-engines ready to come out
-inside stripped
-floor insulation/ dynamat type rubbish removed(took 3 hrs and alot of hard work)
-panels,doors off
- unexpected surprise, at some stage my wee 85 1200 had an auto conversion complete with trans tunnel replacement ans kick down button installed by the accelerator pedal and light run to the center console.
the tunnel replacement is very rough and i dont know how i missed it at inspection. its starting to rust around where its been spot welded to the floor and where its spotted to the firewall need some work. removed all the dynamat type insulation from the tunnel/floors and it took ages.
few pics of progress, im not much of a photographer and i rarely get the camera out.

next step is to lift engine out and remove brake lines and all bar the axels/wheels and send it off for sandblasting
