| Paid a deposit on Saturday and pick it up in a week or so. Needs a small repair to the door post and a heater channel welding in but apart from that is solid and at a bargain price!   Ignore the corsa in the background     Comes with a full set of mint wings, semi w decklid, removable rear valance and some other bits to go with it. Plans are to get the channel and door pillar welded up, then cage fitting. Once the cage is fitted it will go to Iain at Ikustoms for some paint and then off to our very own Curtis for the signwriting  | |

| Genuine body to pan seal arrived today. Harness got ordered yesterday. Repair panels arrived yesterday and arranged the welding weekend for the end of this month hopefully. Steering column shroud looks like it has been sourced too. Paint colour might have been picked too Also think we have decided upon a temporary engine to go in until i help build the big bugger | |
