As of now the interior & exterior of the fto has been stripped and i plan on selling as much stuff as possible to get some cash as i need to get an engine crane before i can drop the engine so i may not get round to doing any major work till after xmas

Anyway heres a few pics of the progress so far

This is how mine looked going into the skip.
