i realy like this
i'd say it was a lovely car in its hayday and i'm sure it will be just as lovely restored, actualy fair play to you restoring it because its a very brave project but a reshell would ruin it!!
can't wait to watch this come together, i'd love it

Very Jealous of your car!

[Swainy]

Have you got a clearer picture of the dash?
It looks blurry and from what I can make out it looks good

Good luck to you! I hope you see it through to the end!

Work cut out for you with this one!

[tedmcedd]

looking forward to more updates!

Hi all, just a small-ish update here.
Interior out (excluding dash due to the weather being s.h.1.t.

Rear l/h floor pan is out (what was left of it anyway)

N/s wing off but not without donating some blood & shredding some skin .

& also someone asked for clear photo of the dash so here it is.

Thanks for comments & positivity.

regards
clifford

well you certainly have your work cut out!

but one thing i cant understand is, why does a mini rally car with no power assisted steering have a small mountany 10" wheel????? crazy! must have arms like he-man!

Hi i think i will repair the shell as is ,but i dont know were to brace before cutting it as all of the front door frame and flitch panel is not structural
anymore. The door posts/sill have bought the farm (Spoken in an American accent).
& also i have been left out side due to the garage having a giat jag project in.
p.s. my sense of humor lacks errrr HUMOR.
