That one looks about the same as the one I pulled out of my 2+2. I set it on my desk so that I could scan it the next morning only when I woke up the next day I discovered that one of the dogs had eaten most of it overnight.

Stupid dog.
Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road.

So where was it?

I have my interior completely out, but did not find it. Although there was something that may have been the remains of it, inside the bottom of one of the doors.

One thing for sure, by the time you're done with this project you should be good at welding sheet metal. :D

When I'm done the welder will be attached to my hands, making it impossible to drive the car! :lol:
