Last week I picked up a McCoy kit car, which has now been named "Bones":
Sadly it's spent a couple of years sat under some tarps, so it was somewhat waterlogged inside. Also, all the parts were stacked inside.
I spent yesterday clearing all the parts out from inside, throwing out the crap, doing a basic sort of the parts and getting all the water out of the inside. I took the pictures above as the light was failing after I'd cleaned it all out. Waiting for it to dry out properly now, so I can vacuum the last of the bits out of it. Looks a lot cleaner inside now though:
Ended up with several piles of bits:
Doors and windows:
Seals and other rubber, along with the heater and miscellaneous cables:
Various lights from both the McCoy and, presumably, the donor Mini:
A spare set of wheels and various metal brackets:
And a pile of miscellaneous bits:
The seats are basically shot, unfortunately:
It does, however, come complete with a 1275 engine:
The only thing that appears to be missing is the fuel tank, but it uses one of the long, Mini van fuel tanks, so it's easy enough to replace.
Next step is to do a proper sort and clean up of the various bits once they've dried out properly so I can be sure I'm not missing anything important. The other thing I'll be doing next weekend is installing lights in the garage so I can work in the evenings.
