Ok well heres Dobby - I went to pic her up and the link is bleow for pics.

I am going to have to do a full restore on this one, has been stored for the last 20 years in not so dry garage so she isnt in great condition but am sure I can make her Motable at least, it will probably take some time tho.

At present she has a 850cc engine in - and have a spare 998cc engine and box too. She is on Hydrolastic suspension so any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

First job will be to strip her down - well after I have refurbed the garage and got her in there. Then onto the welding and rebuilding.

Let me know what you all think should be done - either bring back to classic - or go full hog and modify her stupid ?

hehe

good luck nice to see another early clubman being saved, modifications are a no no on a car that old

Cheers :grin: I am thinking alaong the lines of original restoration at the moment, then maybe buy a newer model after for some fun modding. This one may take a while tho.

With My ribs nearly healed I cracked on with the Shed conversion and tonight I got the shed opened up at the rear - workbench in and Dobby in , along with the 998 engine -

So with any luck you may well see some transformations over the coming weeks, months, along with many questions too

hello again, well i havent done too much to the Clubby to date, in fact all I have been doing is dismantling it.

So far have removed engine, interior and front subframe.

Next job is rear subframe removal, have started undoing the bolts, one snapped, another seems to be rounded off... joys lol

Here are some more pics I took over the weekend.

Project Dobby Pics

Has it really been that long ... ooops

Well due to many other projects this one never really took off and I spent more time and effort on converting a mazda for drag racing, and now don't have the time for and car r elated projects.

So unfortunately for me this project will now have to go -

I will be updating pics etc - if you have any interest please mail me or reply on here - its been stood since 2006 and nothing has happened, except more rust. Lots of other spares will be available including doors, bonnets etc .

Sorry to see her go but I need the room and she needs some tlc.

When I get more pics etc I will post a sale ad.
