Pics at last!!

Here are a few pics of my car.  Pretty poor quality as I really need to get a new digital camera. I haven't just been leaving the car to rot - honest :oops: Anyway, here's the rusty roof  



Wheelarches are not too bad






Rusty non-genuine NSF wing




MK1 and MK2




Rear end with rusty holes where the number plate screws went through


I've got a new roof, rear wheelarches, rear panel and a NS wing to go on. I'm still waiting to get an OSF wing,front panel and some repair parts for the scuttle panel and bulkhead, and the rear wheel well neds plating as does some of the floor. It's just a question of time and money! Couldn't get any interior shots as I forgot my key :oops:  The interior is mostly stripped anyway!

That's in Harbertonford just outside Totnes. Nearly pushed the MK1 into the river when we put it there! The river is running right behind the hedge there and the car is sat on a bit of an overhang 8O  Hasn't fallen in yet though!

The car didn't look quite that bad when it was left there. I had a cover over it when it was on my drive, but it kept blowing off and I couldn't go rushing out there to put it back on every evening, so I will have to have a bit of a clean up soon. First bit to get sorted will be the wheel well and then i'm going to think about the engine.
