Had the car pushing nearly a year now were it has just sat as this is my first car and i haven't

passed yet.

Then the headgasket went so i stripped the 8v lump were it has sat ever since.

Sold all bumpers lights wing mirrors and now I'm needing to buy all new + a few other things!

Basically this is going to be a ground up build.

anyway enough rambling on, time for some pics.

So when i first bought the car back in november 2009:

and collecting some pictures.

Bump strips removed

This is a good first project and a great way to learn your restoration skills. Looking good so far and will look like a different car when you get the new front end put on.

What engine you going to fit mate? AFH?
