I picked up the car on Monday and brought it back to my garage. It is certainly needing a lot of work. Hopefullly not too much to make it not salvageable. The front subframe mounting points are nnot fantastic from what I can see so will need much repair. I need to make some additional space to store all the parts I take off as well before I can strip much down as my unit is full of racing motorbike parts as i restore bikes for myself and others.
I remooved the bonnet as it is only fit for the bin? Is the Mk2 bonnet the same or different, looks very similar to the S trype one. I hoovered all the rusty debris out and removed the filter assembly for a better look at the engine. I will start removing all the ancillaries to prepare to drop the engine out as I have a 2 post lift in the garage which makes it much easier. I am going to weld braces the over the door appertures to stop any distortion as both sides are not the best. I will weld up a rotiserie for it as well once the shell is strippped so the weldathon can comence! I am also thinking about a colour change as well to one of the opalescent ccolours as they are my favourite. WIll get some pictures later.
I have filled out a V62 form and will also complete an application for a heritage certificate form too.
