My mk1 is dry, but I have looked on minispares and mine are different to both dry and hydro I think I can repair it so will try that first, but thanks will let you know if don't work.

Photos after today's efforts,
Removed rear sub frame and stripped it so can put back on shell to aid alignment
Removed front subframe, luckily I have a spare subframe so can leave this assembled for now
Got bare shell on axle stands level and ready to start
Another couple of areas that will require attention
A quick shot of rear of bootboard brackets showing the spot welds, this is one way to identify a cooper shell as not all fit these correctly
Ran out of time for now as stripping rear subframe took longer than I expected, nothing comes out as easy as it looks

Not too much to add but I have managed to get the car braced and do most the cuts today, just not enough time to find all the little bits that's stopping it falling out, but not far away now
Can't get any more time this weekend but hopefully get it removed and toe board repaired next week

Done a little more today and ended up with this out the way
Cut it up ready for scrap
As it now stands
I need to do a few repairs to toe board so need to get some steel before can continue,
Hopefully get my panels delivered soon so can fill the hole back up.
I am really enjoying this one and hoping to get welding finished over the winter.

Sorry if had realised you could of had it, if you need any parts off it though like front tunnel or anything just help yourself, it has only been cut with 1mm disc so not to bad.
