I stripped the car over the weekend- the shell isn't actually as bad as I thought. I have a steel Bonnet and a pair of doors for it now. I want to get the inner wing too strut repair panel for the near side as the repair that it's had doesn't look pretty...

the engine bay bay itself doesn't look too bad, I'm thinking of getting the car shot blasted. This a good idea or not??


i also chucked 5 quid of diesel in the steam cleaner and blasted it for ages- engine bay looks loads better already.

was going to have it prepped at painted, then put it back on the ramp, remove rear axle and suspension, all brakes, front suspension, subframe steering ect, paint the underside, have all components powder coated, then refit it all...

im going to start a build thread on the car now too.

thanks everyone for there advice and info so far!
