74 we found pretty cheap.. body was in pretty good condition and no rust in the usual places but had some accident damage in the front requiring replacement of the spare tyre well and the rh inner guard. but now all rust removed and being pieced back together slowly. was originally a 1300tp motor which i had rebuilt to a 1640cc. pretty much everything on motor is new except alternator. the oval is the next project to be done... already have in mind what i want... disc brakes all round.. currently has an adjustable beam but i want to put air suspension on front and rear. complete rebuild inside and out etc.. new instrument cluster planned.. with digital speedo, tacho, oil temp, oil pressure and fuel guages in vdo vintage style... new paint color.. flash kit... replacement of ragtop with goldie ragtop. and the list goes on......

dont have any pics of the interior of the 57 oval... not real proud of it at the moment as i haven't done anything to it... its basically a black interior with high back front seats. I have found a set of original front seats for it and i have just recently purchased a golde ragtop clip to replace the britax one.
on the 74 we have only just had the headlining put in and here are some pics..

Very nice! They did a great job. Or are you doing it yourself? We have a vert and left off the lining etc.. We don't drive it with the top up so why bother
 I get better rear view without it anyway
