The photos dont quite do justice to the imaculate bodywork of this car (with exception to a bit rust on the drivers wing) seems a shame to break it up.
Even still has 6 month MOT. Was considering insuring it and running about with it until i start to need parts from it, however the missus has been eyeing it up and trying to drop hints that she wants it. I think if i was to put it back on the road, i may need to find another donor lol  Engine and gearbox seem solid. Nothing happening yet construction wise as my local steel supplier/ timber merchant won't be open until monday to put in my materials order

Might also win some browny points from her indoors <as if> And welcome to the forum. Bob

Yeah right, more likely i'll need to find another car lol
Still considering whether to put it on the road and give it a bit sideways fun Would need to mess aroung getting insurance and road tax aswell,would it really be worth the hastle me putting it on the road for a few months. In two minds whether to put it on the road just now or strip off the parts i dont need and sell them to get some of my money back. Would like to buy a new welder for the project, at the minute i have a portable 130A Gasless mig.
