Every Man must have his project

After receiving the email from the seller saying he did want to sell the car, me and my dad went up and had a final look at the car. We struck the deal with the seller then and there and got a lot of important pieces to the restoration puzzle thrown in including a RHD steering rack, a trolley which will fit the body so we can work on the underside more easily, already restored heater, RHD full wiring loom, exhausts and a few other small pieces.

The parts are set to arrive friday 28th (possibly the car as well)

I'm very much looking forward to starting work on it.

We have a plan of attack for when we get the car. Broken down to starting from the rear IRS then moving forward and the engine will be the last of the things we restore.

The only modern touch we are putting on the car is Coopercraft brake calipers and discs all round. The rest of the car will remain completely original including Transmission, engine, IRS and suspension.
