I think I would work for free in a garage like that. Such a wonderful sense of achievement once it's all done.....

Car is on the back burner now, I've got a big job in at the moment which I'm on a tight deadline with. Also doing a spare time mini resto on my sierra sapphire Ghia which I will start a thread on later

Being so busy with work over the past 2 months, I not done anything to my mk1 due to lack of time. I'm now booked up until well into next year, so starting to have doubts as to wether I will be able to get the car done for the summer.

So just incase it's not done, I got myself another mk1 lol.

Just a little 1300l, needs welding, comes with all the panels, so going to try and get most of it done over Christmas. Bit of primer on it here and there and get out and start using it.

Plus it's much much cheaper to build this one quickly than it is to finish my green one!

Thanks for the comments!

Not much has happened with my mk1, im currently doing a respray and build on a customers one so that's eating all my time!

Also just had the machine work done on the engine for my Cossie, so that's going back together over the next month or so.

And I'm making some changes to my 2.0 Ghia saph which will be updated soon.

Ive now sold the yellow mk1 because ive not got the time, so means I can try and focus more on the others.

I'm planning on getting back on with this in a couple of months once both my Saphs are sorted

All that's happened since the last update is that ive fitted the headlining and the glass
