Project barn find with a silly big enigine...maybe ine day

Well I got offered a mk1 a few months ago agreed to have it then nothing ever happened (the guy I bought it off is usually full of shite lol) then last weekend I got a phone call to come an pick it up

When I got it I was really really surprised as it has been dry stored in a barn since '92 an this was the first time its seen sun light since then, the carpet has been taken out of it an as a result the floor pan is MINT! I mean this car is solid for 34 years old

Here is the only pic I've got atm of it:

 

Comments an criticisms always welcome

Plans are to strip everything out of it an check it all over for rust/corrosion…engine wise I'm really not sure where to go with it :/

I'll get some more pics when I go down my dads next few days

you need a new bonnet? looks like someone opened the bonnet with a can opener gud luck with the build mate.

Looks like a good base for a project

Bonnet looks like its raising the eyebrow 'The Rock' style
