Fooooook me that thing is rotten , get a clean 2 door 1100L for £4000 instead and put the rs bits on it (like everyone else does)
sigpic 2.1 ATMO YB POWER .
Tick tock goes the clock and the clock don't lie .
12.4sec to 109mph With NO turbo , NO gay trailer , NO slicks , NO gas , NO race fuel and NO bits missing . Beat that !!!!
It will be resprayed in original colour, I want it looking as standard as possible , although ti will have uprated suspension , a 2.1 pinto and 7 inch minilites etc etc
Excellent stuff , should look like this then .

I would look at reshelling that I'm afraid.........
If you go ahead with that shell tackle one area at a time.
All the best, Paul
We`ve decided to do it in 3 sections, gonna get the front end first then the middle then the rear, not bothered how long it takes really as budget will determine time limit!!.
Want to keep the shell if i can as the rear quarters , roof and floor are all solid , its all the other bits that are crap !!
just saw your post on my resto, I have been looking at your pics in the last few days & definately go & get a front end from Darran. no disrespect but yours is actually worse than mine was.
Mine really needed a re-shell but I wanted to keep some originality in the car and also the challenge of restoring it.
It would have cost me 5 times more to buy&fit chassis legs, bulkhead, inners, pillars etc. than Darran charged for a mint front end and I shipped it to Ireland!
I'm no expert but the jig I made up worked a treat. I split the a pillars , and around the top of the tunnel, took 100 measurements & levels and when I fitted the new one all lined up perfect.
I got Dave to make up the strut plate with my chassis no.
good luck, I have other pics if you need any help .
He he thats the job, would love a 4ft poster of that in the garage to keep me inspired !!!
Here's another one then .
