Welcome Martin! First request is which build number Turbo do you have and hopefully you are aware of our Turbo celebrations that will be happening throughout the year. As for what you are undertaking, it sounds a bit deja vue for me, as the one I bought back in spring 2014, only needed a "mechanical overhaul, ahem" but really needed the same level of bodywork attention as yours is having. God luck with it, and keep us updated with your progress. search for parts, joys and frustrations!Membership Secretary

It’s a Montego Pete!
Sounds really good Martin, some pics would be great. I am so pleased you didn’t reshell it, it is such a shame when they lose their proper true identity. I have a 86 Montego Turbo which I am very slowly restoring so I will be watching this for updates!
