Needed for the car
Rear bumper (have 2 spare)
Bootlid (have a spare)
Front door cards (have 4 spare)
All 4 doors, the drivers door has had an outer skin put on it but it didn't had enough paint put on it so it's slowly rusting. (I have 4 good spare doors)
All door windows as all have been heavily scratched. (not sure if I have a set that doesn't have a number plate sketched on)
Bonnet (have 2 spare)
Front bumper brackets as they have rotted through (have spares)
Centre consol tray (have a spare)
Wipers (have spares)
Dash (have spare but not early one)
Rear seats (have all four seats spare if needed)
Front crash panel rusted (have spare)
Brake servo (have spare)
Aerial (have spare but newer type)
Radiator is shot (have a new spare)
Rear parcel shelf (have 2 spare)
Both drip trims on the roof (have crome spares only)
Drip seams will need work as they are rusty
Headlining looks as though it's been re-covered, but it hasn't been put back correctly.
Drivers door rubbing strip (have spare)
Both rear arch rubbing strips (friend has one)
Exhaust manifold is cracked (have a spare at Mal's barn)
Head is leaking oil so will also change the head gasket. (have loads of these)
It's had both front wings replaced at some point but the top bolt on the drivers side is missing so will look at that more closely when I remove the drivers door.

No, I have no trailer.
I will post updates when I do things to it, will be having a proper look see about mid April as it's the earliest I can get there and will take more pictures etc

I really want to see a digi-dash monty, bring it to BL day on a trailer Jeff!

In that case, I look forward to seeing it in 2013!

[Jeff Turbo]

Will it be at any shows this year do you think, Jeff?

Shouldn't think so Sam, next year will be the earliest.

It has been delivered! (1930 hours last night!)

It did, nicely done Mal
Started up straight away then tick tick tick, manifold and exhaust blowing, leccys windows not working and a few other things to work on but it's not too bad and nothing I can't sort.
Came with half a tank of petrol, some spares and a birthday prezzy from Mal and Fiona. Many thanks

It has been delivered! (1930 hours last night!)

Arrives monday and it now starts and drives

[Jeff Turbo]

The only one I've ever seen 'in the metal' was a black one, also B-reg, at MGSD in 2003: reg B925 UPP. Despite looking pretty decent as I remember it back then, it's not been taxed since May 2007, so it's probably dead.

That's a shame.

Well done Jeff great to see this car find a proper home, really looking forward to seeing it, about time you found yourself a project

A project? I have few now

Well done Jeff!

Thanks Chris, and all who have commented.

The car will be picked up soon and I will post up more pictures then and also updates on my progress.
It shouldn't take too long as it's mostly to replace the bolt on panels, trim etc then a spray.
I should have everything in my spares for it and I know a good sprayer/bodyman from the forum and he's agreed to take it on when I have finished what i need to do first
I want to put an MOT on it first to see what needs to be done other than the body.
The car won't be rushed as don't have a lot of time but it should be done by the summer all being well.
