I have been a little busy sourcing bits, but to keep everyone updated, the shell is still under going work.  It has had to have more work done than first thought as what looked like surface rust is deeper and Murphy now needs more panels. On the bright side this gives me more time to sort everything else out. I have decided to not put the original engine back in after the restoration, this I am going to rebuild using a Haynes manual. Murphy is now going to have a heart upgrade. I have brought a used 1275 engine and have switched it with the original 1000 at Brett Sims Motorsport, and he is going to work his magic and turn it into either a 1330/1380, which I have to decide on. So any advise would be greatly appreciated.... I have brought a nice adjustable suspension package and am now looking to convert the front brakes to discs as if hes gonna have a bigger heart I need to be able to stop the little blighter.  SO if anyone has any ideas and or recommendations please reply.
