Default Restoration of the old lady MK1 4D

I have just found in an automobile breakage this old case of MK1 has doors. Each one has its project and me for the fun of it I will try to remake it to roll with any means I have . All the difficulty in this restoration will be the lack of parts for this car. As much in Europe it is easy, here in senegal that will be real struggle. then you do not be suprised to see certain things which will occur during this restoration...

occurs what will be able

fair play mate but if you dont do bodywork it looks like your in for fun there mate.

years ago i hated 4dr mk1`s and 2`s but as the prices for the 2drs shot up the 4dr are now much more appealing hense why i bought a 4dr mk2 at the start of the year sold now though and gone to wales for a spot of night rallying
