i really don't want to sell it.. but i have to downsize my fleet..... its a series 1 sd1 v8 rolling shell. there is a "rathole" just behind the rear wheel boot corner/inner arch on both sides.. and that is all the rust there is!!!! it is striped. with no interior just curse word door cards and dash. and no engine/ gearbox.. oh and the windscreen is cracked.... yes i know it sounds like sh!t but it needs no welding other than what i have said about.. would make an excellent donor if anyone wants to rebuild one.. i was going to fit a merc 5l v8 and auto under the hood. fit a jag mk2 rear axle.. (in the car waiting to fit!!) and fit the merc leather inside.. on gas. well that was the plan.. i don't want it to go for banger racing.. EVER.. and so if it does not sell then i will just find somewhere to sheet it down.. dunno what it is worth and so its up for offers.. will need paint as when i had it i got the flinch panel (under the windscreen) and the a post tops to wing edge sandblasted and painted them matt black to keep any rust at bay.. (paint bubles surface rust only..) I'm gonna miss it.. it was my first v8 car when i was 19! and i wanted to keep it forever but..... well here it is.. any takers?? like i said offers.. maybe swaps?? anything the worst i can say is no.. si ps i will take pics as soon as i can prob at the weekend..

Quality rear window Louvre action.
I reckon you should get in touch with Spag (builder of Rover V8-engined Mini) and ask if he has a spare A-series to put in the SD1.

Too far and i have too many jobs on , but come on someone, It looks alright. A propper car as dads and petrol head snobs would say. What about 'nightmaresracing'? its not a Cortina but would make a good host of a US V8.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Surely twigzy or one of his colleagues could get some fun out of it on the oval if no-one else wants it. Shame for a series 1 SD1 but looks like you have made a good effort to try and find it a good home. To be absolutley honest, solid shell or not it looks like it needs a full brain-damage restoration and how many folk would do that on an SD1?
Even I would concede that thats got to be better than scrapping it.

Even I would concede that thats got to be better than scrapping it. i dunno if "brain damage resto" is a good turm to use...? get a rusty doner and instead of stripping it and spending monthes worth of welding just to get a shell that will bubble and rust in the next few years... simply get mine, fit a engine and box. bolt in seats, carpet and drop a parcel shelf in place. 1 hours worth of weldind and a quick key in and blowover and *TA...DA.....!* DONE! could be done in a few weekends.... all brakes work as does stearing and suspension. all leccy still in and works if a battery is in.. litrally a engine bolt in job and mot! I'm pulling my hair out about this.. someone was going to have it till last week and then tells me that he got a complete series 2 for 500 quid. he wants new wings sills both sides. rear arches. boot floor. scuttle panel front floorpan to sill edges a rack and 3 doors/ skins. and of corse the respray etc.. hes quite happy to do this !! makes no sense to me..?! a bloke the other day told me how the mirrors from a series one will make 70 quid! the bonnet a oner the tailgate a oner etc... and wont take it away for free!! i will prob scrap it and then next year a rusty shell will be worth 1000 quid!! farken messers and time wasters is all ive had!! its been "sold" 4 times.... but when it comes to money or taking it away.... they vanish of the face of the earth!! si

Thats good news, I can find some struts for you to TIG some adjustable coilover kits to Went and saw the garage last night,.. not big enough for two cars sadly but big enough for me ... I've always wanted an SD1 ... Will bring the car down soon, probably next weekend. WOO!
