not that far then, often had peeps from ipswitch, gloucester, and carlisle come to barn meets.

Mind you, I usually go M1 A/M42 M5 so, if you need anything pm me, and I will see what I hav.

Great work there. Brings back memories of when I did mine about 10 years ago-no 96. I had to weld in a new rear floor just like you have done, as well as sill work and replacement of various doors, wings and tailgate. Keep going, it will be a lovely car when it's finished!

yep .. found all the rusty bits found how to take the car to pieces , its getting easyer now lol cant wait to slap some paint on it i have to say its the most body work i have ever taken on, should look good in the end tho!!! well better than it was

Doing a cracking job there, coming on very well.

its great to see a proper restoration too - rather than just a re-shell...

keep putting the photos up, its nice to see a job like this progress because it gives you the inspiration to do work like that yourself.

my only problem now is at 5 cars i can't take on any more projects. but i wish i could have a go at one like yours...

the offside rear quarter has the fuel filler pocket in it, if you havn't got one already Matthew Semple can get them made for you via the MGM club in GRP... they are quite hard to get hold of otherwise; although I did find an original steel one on ebay for mine.

useless photos!

[countrydude]

If you close one eye and squint with the other those photos are ... still crap!

edit dont get this kit rear does not even go as low as standard hight.. thought id have a day off the welding and fit my coilovers as im still waiting for my quarter panel hopefully it will be here next week





i had to drill the hole a bit bigger on the rear and elongate the front holes to suit the front hub.

Looks like your doing a great job with the restoration

What coilovers are they? They look suspiciously like mk1 golf ones

I knew they were some kind of golf ones! I compared my mk1 golf ones with my maestro leda coilovers out of interest and came to the same conclusion of elongating and drilling out the holes.
