I really must create a project thread but for the moment the rocco came back from the trimmers on friday after having the headlining replaced and a NOS Britax Weathershield fitted which I found on ebay about a year or so ago as the original had totally disintegrated inside.

Some pics when picked up from the trimmers:

also collected the wheels form the powder coaters, really pleased with them hoping they look not too dissimiliar to original factory spec?

And a few externals, excuse the steelies and the bumpers :oops:

Weekend was spent fitting the rear quarters and windscreen and most of the interior has been refitted:

just waiting for the tombstone seats to come back from the valeter, fingers crossed MOT next week and on the road for Feb :hugegrin:

Fabulous retro roof - looks like a good job.

Wheels are looking great too.

Will do Ant, I think he will be glad to have the space back and get some work done on his own cars rather than mine!!! The pictures don't really do justice to the work he has done on it.

Had to drive her out in horrible wind and rain this morning but all worth it as she now has a fresh MOT :yahoo:

That looks fantastic. Are you sure you didn't time travel back to the 70's, buy a brand new Rocco and bring it back to the present day? It really does look that good, a credit to you Sir. :hi:
