Thought I would post some pics of my other Ebay impulse purchase from about a year ok. My father in law told me at dinner he always wanted a Roadster so that night I bought one on ebay and told him to clear the garage.
Got it transported down and decided to do a light resto. But after started to strip it down realised there was alot to be done! So started by cutting the rear panel out and the boot floor. Replaced with brand new panels. Then both floors came out (hours of spot weld removing!!!) and new panels went in, but before they could I ahd to replace one out rigger and jacking point plus replace a section of the chassis rail. Small sections of the footwells also needed doing.
Latest work has involved stripping the engine dow as it decided to go the whole hog and do a full respray and nut and bolt resto.
Got all new bushes and new springs for under but need to get ton of old waxoyl off first!
Got a full chrome bumper conversion kit to go on too. The Alfa and the Saab now have distracted me a bit but determined to get sorted for the summer.
