Hopefully uploading images of my project as it came to me.
It was almost a complete car missing only it's engine and rather a lot of long since oxidised steel. Strip down is well under way and more holes keep appearing!

It looks so much better than I remember of when I saw it, a big Texas Yellow flower in a bed of nettles.
I anticipate this being a long and interesting thread, probably over a number of years

Re: 412 project
Having emptied the car of all the boxes of parts, I stripped the interior completely including dash and wiring loom then removed the nasty sound-proofing from the floor to see what was left.
There wasn't much of the n/s left.
The o/s was a little better but the seat runners have suffered.
This is the floor I got from 937carrera. It's has a better cross-member and enough of the right bits of floor to give me one good floor out of two bad, well, the rear part anyway.

A fine and exciting challenge. Looks like a good one to get stuck into
