Decided its time I started a thread on my restoration project.

Car is a s1, always wanted one of these and finally got the chance to buy one.

It's in ok condition, not the worst around, chassis is in fairly good nick, usual rust and a few holes but nothing we cant deal with.

Plan is a restoration with no expense spared as i've come to the conclusion to get this mint will need lots and lots of money.

Lets get Started

Any advice is always welcome

Day 1





Its home for the next year(s)







Day 2

Interior out, dashboard out, remove the bodged Clifford Alarm and immobiliser (that keeps going off) and get back to the original loom and route the wiring through the bulkhead.











Holey in the drivers footwell where it connect to the bulkhead






Disconnect the engine loom, that's the loom out



Day 3

Remove exhaust. Water hoses, brake and fuel lines, remove front suspension set up, and drive shafts, remove brake servo, disconnect cables and pedal box out. Bodykit off, not sure what they had stuck the arches on with but fuuuckkk it was bonded.











Day 4

Engine out, windscreen out and remaining glass.









Shell is now booked in for soda blasting on the outer panels and sand blasting on the main structure
