I've had this one for quite a while now - but only recently started working on it in earnest - mainly because I've narrowed down my collection of 40-strong cars to a more palatable 20-odd!
I'll do some 'work-in progress' pics as I go from here on in but these are just a few shots of it that I already have - it did belong to an 'estate car fanatic' member on here a few years back, then a fire engine/camper owner on here also - when it had its original 1622cc plodder fitted - the head gasket was gone on that engine - which would have been fixed in an hour easily - so I decided to fit the hot MGB lump I had (also purchased of a member from here!) to pep her up a bit. Will update as work continues....
As she stands now
Plans are to finish the jobs required to MOT her, fit telescopic shocks all round and decide on which rims to sit her on once and for all (I've tried 6 different sets so far).
I thought that there's nothing like starting a Readers Rides thread as a bit of a mojo boost, so here it is!
