After quite a few projects been taken on and never getting round to finishing them i decided to buy a daily and leave it standard and get myself a project. I toyed with the idea of buying a complete mk1 and just tidying up however i decided if i wanted it done i may aswel do it properly.
brought this off jamiegolf when it popped up for sale
Its pretty much a rusty shell with a few bits i plan on doing a full resto so trying to source as many new parts as possible
plans are pretty basic at the moment get the bodywork done
G60 lump
wire tuck
some nice splits
basically going to build it to how i like may not be to evreyones taste heres a few pics
front end
wonky rear panel
boot floor
fuel filler
few of arches
friend of mine is carrying out the welding and paint i help out weekends but cant take any credit
front lined up before cutting begins
cut and braced
finished
windscreen repairs needed
boot repair panels
plans are to cut the inner arches and floor out in one peice and replace with mine as mine have seen their day also have a new rear panel to go in
