Ruby Restoration Thread

[JohnD]

For the last while there was a member on the forum restoring a Ruby, and he had a rather extensive set g photos of the progress along at each stage, these were all labelled etc

I cannot find this thread, does anyone have a link to this thread ? 

 Iam also looking for information on replacement floor panels, or photos of cars that have had news floors installed

Not sure about the thread, sorry, but there are some pictures here:

I think Geoff has had a few months off due to illness but has restarted work as he posted some new photos on the Austin Seven Facebook page last week.

I'm back after a near wasted 2018.
Suspected kidney stones, with associated pain, turned out to be a SEVERE bladder infection requiring 3 lots of antibiotics to cure, only cured by the last different lot.
Then it was 5 sessions in hospital undergoing all sorts of tests to find out what the cause was and to make sure nothing was damaged, the last being overnight under a general when urologist did a thorough inspection using a rigid catheter.
Thankfully all clear!
BUT the whole episode knocked me sideways such that grey matter and body refused point blank to cooperate/sync, and only recently feeling able to get back to working on the car, as mentioned by Nigel.

Geoff - Will update my thread soon with luck

Jeff Taylor,
Thanks for your response to JohnDs post.
JohnD,
I'm happy that you find my Thread useful and it gives me encouragement to get back into my stride again.
Derek, Nick,
Thanks for your kind comments.

Geoff - Thinking about the NS inner wheel arch repair.

Thank you Geoff, the detailed photos and descriptions are what i was after to show some obscure details of the body.

 Have you had to replace any of the floor panels yet?
