Comletely different car mate. There are lots of jobs and tweaks done that you cant even see underneath. The floor has been done twice now also!! Rear arches have been strecthed 1.5" but look completely standard, very expensive job!!
Engine also runs, the electrics are a work of art!!
Just need to plumb in the clutch and brakes and shoul dmove under own steam. Not going on the road this year though...??
Cheers

Yep that sthe one mate. Its changed heaps sisnce then though. The whole body has been reworked from new arches, bonnet, floor, seat rails, engine bay tweaks, mounts, hangers, etc, etc...
It actually runs now by th eway. But there is a funny knocking noise that I cant work out? But I have fitted a center relaease hydraulic clutch and have no hydraulic pressure so am hoping its just that cluncking about??? It does not get quicker with revs so is not the engine anywhere, just cant find where it is until I plumb the thing in. Next job then....
And yes, a lot of work but as said...most definately worth it!!
As I have said since doing the Mk1, if its worth doing then its worth doing right. I just hope I go easy with the Anglia project, going to try keep that cheap as possible... ha!!
Cheers...
