Hi all,
I'm 14 and I was recently bought a Riley Elf by my parents as a project car. The car is relatively clean and rust free, with only a few major rust spots, which means I can learn to weld during the restoration process! We lifted the engine out of the car a few days ago and I'm very excited to finally be making progress on the car! I'll post photos soon if I can! We don't plan to do much modification on the car due to insurance costs when it comes to me finally driving it

Don't you mean Diamond white roof and Baby blue body? It'd look mega odd the other way round :S
