Joe,
looks like someone has had a go at the wingrails in the past , front wings haven't been off though. Strut top plates are all original but there is a little swelling starting to show under them. Both door skins will need sorting and rear arches are a bit flakey on their edges, apart from that it will need a full paint. Engine was apparently rebuilt about 3000 miles ago , but 19 years ago and is apparently 130bhp at rear wheels

Car has billies all round , single leafs and lowering blocks at the rear (these will go as a pet hate of mine),full janspeed system (also will be going) plan is to return it to standard base spec and get it out and enjoy it. Will get some pics of the bad bits as well

Paul your looking in all the wrong places mate.......
















Your local garage is where you'll find an MOT.
Post Office is where the tax is.
Looks nice enough & good enough to concours, but get it out & enjoy driving it. The grinder can wait.

....car has full janspeed system (also will be going) plan is to return it to standard base spec.....

Going for cast manifold presumably, but what exhaust Paul?

[RUDDY]

Just to show the grinder hasn't been fired up I have started putting the car back together





The bits that will need doing

Passenger door skin



Drivers door skin



Rear arches are swollen where it folds under





Crusty edge on drivers wing rail



Passenger wing rail



Strut tops are good but lifting slightly



Don't know what this is ???



This is the best nosecone I have ever had , it is superb



Next job is some insurance and a MOT .................
