Then managed to find some time to fix it...
It took a while to find and ship over a replacement guard but I found what I needed from a T-Boned UK car.

I worked out what the picture sizing problem was...
I worked out what the picture sizing problem was... I felt rather chuffed after learning it was such a simple fix.
Here are the pictures again in smaller size so you can see them on one page.

It's one thing to have a Monty, it's another thing to RACE a Monty, but it's a WHOLE other thing to FIX a Monty!!!! 
Great job!! Nice to see her repaired. Thanks for the pics.

This is what happens when you park sideways in a handicap parking space in Los Angeles without a permit.

I just woke up, so I'm not fully-functional yet, but sometime today, I'll take and post pictures of my Milano.. It's not bad, just the fender's messed up, corner light is in about a million pieces and there's some damage to my door.

Those features were VERY popular in the mid-seventies, as were platform boots, gaucho pants, disco music and men wearing open polyester shirts (with big collars) and double-knit 'leisure-suits' with a big gold chain.
In my opinion, it was all the result of too much cocaine!
Luckily, those days (and even the nostalgia for those days) are gone!

I still have plenty of nostalgia for those days! Disco Forever!

Don't have pictures of it, except in my mind, but my dad's '82 GTV-6 went away via the junkyard. He was rear-end three times in a 1 1/2 year period. The worst part is: ALL THREE HAPPENED AT THE SAME STOPLIGHT ON THE WAY TO HIS WORK!
