This car was purchased new by my sister in 1987, she bought it before going over to
Germany to work before returning to the UK in the early 1990s bringing it back with her.
She kept it until 2010, when she mentioned that it was possibly time to get rid for some
reason I told her I would take it away, which she was pleased about.
Being the wrong side of fifty and not having messed around with cars for many years I
didn't really realise what I was getting into....but have since realised once these cars
get inside your head there's no going back!!![IMG]
back she came, so shiny inside and out, but also showing up how much repair work was required.
Here she is sitting in the bodyshop after picking her up from the blast workshop.
So after taking this project on where the hell do you start!! The car was showing all
the usual signs, wings gone, rear qtr arches starting to go, front end, rear end etc etc
I decided on a light restoration and got it through a test without to many problems.
I ran it for about 10 months and then last September after going to various shows, decided to get things done properly!!
The strip down started again,
I completely stripped her down and loaded her up on the trailer to take for blasting at gentle blast in north wales
