A little update!

Found these two here in the Netherlands, cleaned them and stored them just in case I might need them in the future:




Car is coming out of storage tomorrow to have it's MOT for the last time before the restoration as that is planned for April/May 2014. But maybe I'll do Billing 2014 with the GSi and start the restoration in August 2014.

Some small stuff arrived last week:

Hi Kieron,

I'll check it mate. Will be visiting them within a week or so.

I have my shell ready to blast, not sure to get it soda blasted or liquid treated dipped into the likes of KTL,

don't want rust coming back

So, got my first quote for the full rebuild... Fekking € 15000,00 my god! That scared the hell out of me! Need to negotiate a more fair price me thinks!
