There'a a long time and then there's this.....
So its been a while, been almost a decade. Finally i have a house and space to work. Started stripping paint off, body is remarkedly good. The paint was rough as, and im lucky its been undercover for the best part of 15 years It surprised me how rust free it is under all this. Bottom of the doors are holey but other than about 4 holes smalled than your little finger around the front arches i havent found anything at all. Been on the hunt for a 1500cc engine, ive got old and like the sound of more torque over high revs :D helps that i have a DCOE 40 and a set of headers aside which will fit it. Trying to decide what to do with the doors, i have skins, but honestly its not looking that bad. im considering paying a bloke to repair the bottoms and trying to sell the skins to recoup some money back. stripped 99% of the paint off the roof today and started tidying up the front end. Just leaves the passenger side guard, the boot lid, and both sills to strip. Then we can...
