a clean up under the bonnet a few days later made a big difference.

the car then got trailered away to my mates garage,where the work started.
first all the panels came off,and everywhere was undersealed apart from the underneath,which will be getting done once car is finished, up on the ramp.

engine went in first,a 1.4sr just for now,while i rebuild the sri lump i have.

then started on the bodywork,glassing and filling etc...

after a few weeks of flatting,fibre glassing and filling etc.. it was ready for primer.

whilst this was getting done,i managed to take my wheels for powder coating which i think came out really well.

the guy who is painting the car has decided to do the roof first,which has been done today,the rest of the shell tomorrow,and the panels,wings doors bonnet,boot etc.... once they have been finished and primered
