One way of checking the diff oil level I suppose !!

That's the way to do it, I did the same with my P6

I can't help thinking I threw the wrong bit away though

Looks to me like it has been well and truly launched now Tony

A little bit further forwards, chassis legs straightened out.

Managed to save thenearside quarter panel.

unfortunately not so the offside one, it had took too much of a bang around the rear light area, a donor 75 was relieved of about 7-8" of a rear quarter

Looking a lot better, just need the boot floor now and all will be good in the world (the world of broken 260's that is)

Thats some nifty workmanship there. With the back end of the car missing I couldn't see it getting to this stage anytime soon.
It will be a joy to get it on the road again.

I'm sure the wife said the same sort of thing when she first saw it
