Well it finally here , year of my birth 1969 and its got those hingy things on the doors - all these years of MK3s and at last ive broken away

Well the wife didnt know, so i tried to camoflage it in the garden



didnt work !!







Plus many boxes of stuff , its really in good fettle for a project car

time to get the welder out of retirement again

pad

Looks like a good solid project! Good luck with it!

Hope she saw the funny side of the joke!

I knew i was in trouble , there i was washing the pots, had tea on etc etc , she was milling around and then all I heard was

PAUL (long pause) ANTHONY (nother long pause) Davenport

Just come booming through the house , was like getting a bollocking of my mam when i was young


"whats that in the garden ?"

its a plant pot holder I says

the blank expression said it all really

ah well

Looks a cracking project. What's the plan?

Im stripping this down





and building it all into the mk2 with the intentions of doing some road rallies and classic tours (plus it then gives ne chance to restore the mk3 shell)

Pad

That looks like a fairly decent shell Pad, wish my mk2 project had started out like that. Does it need much welding?
Looking forward to seeing more.

Floors the worst part but im going to put a full floor pan in as it way easier than repairing all the sections , other than that it can pas for being totally suitable for a rally project - dam site easier to do 4 cuts and the old pans out - 1/2 day getting the rest of the floorpan spotwelds drilled out the remaining bits pulled off and i think a couple of days to get the new pan in .

ive borrowed a rollover spit to make things easier

hey, ive had the 'financial evils' from your missus as well, its a scary thing!

Looks like a very nice shell pad!

It'll make a great "Works style" rally car.

Just needs an ORX registration!
