    Default The next project .....

    Hi all,

    Been on the scout for a new project over the last few months and today I picked up this little runabout (sorry about the pic quality - its in a barn and rather dark!) ......



    The more door has rather rusty doors and rear arches , however with the plans I have for it I am undertaking some major body reworking so the rear arches won't be a major problem for me.










    Its done 27k and although the doors and arches are a bit crusty , the main bits like chassis legs , sills and floor pan are all very sound which makes life a lot easier for me.

    Engine wise its currently a 1.2 8v - which is being ditched . If you want this engine or any of the following parts which are surplus to requirements PM me ....


    mk2 bonnet
    mk2 front bumper
    mk2 dash
    mk2 front & rear seats


    As for the plans ...... well its been put to bed until the autumn when I can get my 888 Nova into winter storage and then have room in the garage to play! However I do need a decent set of front doors if anyone has any or finds any let me know!



    More updates as & when....

    Also picked up a set of rather cruddy set of Wolfrace Voodoos off ebay which had seen better days ....



    These are the mk2 versions with writing on the spoke which I wasn't too keen on ...



    First job was to get rid of all the crud and baked on rubbish ....



    Then start to get rid of the writing - fibreglass filler first ...



    ..... which is sanded back ....




    Then a coat of filler ....



    Sand this back and finally a coat of primer filler and job done ...


    Only another 3 to do!!

    Cheers

    Where in Beverley - what were the front doors like as these are a bit ropey! And no not an estate - I'll leave that one to Burgo!
