my first mk2

[13sport]

my time for free its just a hobby, pretty much a complete rolling shell. all glass, 100% mint bonnet boot and doors, wiring 2.8 billy struts columb, switchgear, pedal box lights etc etc. Still on origional flkoor pans and sills in good condition, may need to replace half of one front pan. My plan for it is see how it goes. wanted one for over 10 years now ive got one il get on with it and make my mind up as i go. Got a pinto and type 9 but cant beat the bda tune so hopefully il win the lottery before next winter!first step is to get it on tghe spit spend about a month cleaning all the gunk off and do any repairs it needs, quarters will be lastas im not worried about then (best friend fabricates e-type jag panels on the english wheel) surely a mk2 quarters a piece of p**s compared to an e-type bonnet

Looks like a good project youve got there.
Did it come with any parts or was it just a shell?
Youve got some hours to put in gettin those rear arches sorted tho
What are your plans for it? Engine etc?

also removed fibre glass and filler from rear c pillars as they had also been smoothed, i hadnt noticed this until i got it home and i panicked thinking they might be rotten but one sides as new the other has 3 small holes in the outer skin but will repair easily, have seen much worse 15 yearsago

small repair needed hust below numbers on strut top and small hole under bumper iron area needs attention

Passenger side very good just need to plug a couple of holes up on the chassis leg as it had some extra holes drilled in it for some reason. hopefully get more done in the next week

Hi all had a mk1 which was my first bought about 6 months ago, it needed a lot of work and i got a good offer on it so ended up selling it and knew about this x pack mk2 so went to see it.

It was difficult to see how good or bad it was or good it was due to it being used as a storage space all i could see is that it was caked in underseal.
first thing to do was to remove the x pack as personally it didnt float my boat. Couldnt believe how good the quarters were behind it, only a couple of screw holes as the kit was mostly fitted using resin. Hopeing to save them and convert back to standard using a door skin and arch repair, have some mint tubs cut out a shell already.

at the worst way il tub it again and tarmac arch it
Anyway being keen and only having owned it since 2pm yesterday i thought id start at the front and work my way back. the inner wingsd were full of filler as someone had started to smooth it forgot to get a before pic but after removing it they are pretty good, it had 2 strut top repairs panels poorly attached with snotty weld so i removed them to find one mint strut top and one strut top with a small patch of swelling but numbers still there and correct to v5
