which is part of the fun. I'm considering RS wheels for mine, or some light weight 16", but I'm unsure of the benefits really.

Well I am going to try but yes the tin worms have been busy, the front passenger wing is beyond saving both rear wheel arches are rotten and the sills etc were there once.
The RS wheels are 8 inches wide so could help traction and the 16 inch wheels could change the gearing but I think in the real world its probably more about looks or the price of tyres or in my case what you have around.
I have almost finished cleaning and presentable is good enough for me.
I did book an m.o.t for tomorrow so over the weekend thought I would check the brakes, glad I did the fronts were gone but I had some good used ones so they are now fitted, having a right nightmare with the rears though so have had to cancel the test.
