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

Last update for now, decided to drill all the spot welds from boot floor to heal board so just the bracing and grinding to do now, can't wait to get the floor out now,
Think I might phone m machine and have a few more panels added to my order as need to do the boot floor next

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

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.
