project teabag

After relooking at this I do think its reached the end of its life,  its so bad all the seams will be full of rust, waste of effort.

The guy seemed determined to restore. If he wants parts then text me. Otherwise I will bin what I have left.

The one I broke was in better condition ! But each to their own,

he might just like the challenge. i hope he sticks at it and proves everyone wrong

my mk1 was just as bad but in different areas. never seen front chassis legs rotten out before though. good look

If he's up for the challenge, I don't see a problem, at the end of the restoration, he's going to feel a massive amount of pride in his work, likey more so than if he'd bought a pre-built show car.

In my opinion we need more people like this, to help save as many MK1s as possible

It's all gone quiet on this thread, I would like to think he's proved me wrong and spent the winter building this back up.. 

I think there was less rot on the Mary Rose  when they bought it up, but would be one hell of an achievement if he got it back together.
