Default absolute peice

well i drove an 800mile round tripin a pissin diesel headin oop country to pick up my latest purchase from flea-bay. secured myself a lhd, 2600 mk1 capri.

i could instantly see that i had let myself in for trouble! lol. and so the fun begins...

note 3.0ltr granada in the background!
we picked the car up from the shadiest lock up in the world! actually drove away thinking there was something wrong cos i still had my wallet lol.

started to strip the interior to see the rest of the damage. there was ALOT to take in. loom stage so the engine comes out next.

crane etc... blah.

if rust was silver i would be happier, instead the car is supposed to be silver and yes thats all rust in there. hmmmm lol.
well heres the hole......

this is the start.... plans due to current situation is to cut the front end off and spaceframe it. wings and front panels will be a 1 peice fiberglass assembly, fibreglass bonnet. the floor will be cut out and custom made, enlarged diff, trans tunnel etc. lots to list... more to do.
this is how she'l sit for a while, project is being kicked off the drive as expected. moving to a workshop within the week hopefully. more updates as and when etc. cheers.
