Needed to get the garage clear for my Ka Project coming home next month so finally pulled my finger out and got the shell rolling again.
Refitted the front ARB set-up that i got back off Gadget @ Central Day.
Got some front struts, hubs and brake discs off a friend and picked up some rear struts/wishbones of a 1.3gl at the scrappy.(pity the dashboard was beyond even flocking).
Put the Monte rims on and pushed it outside for a damn good clean and wash off.
Back in garage now so i can get it all polished and ready to go to the 'In Laws' garage to be stored until after the Ka is finished.
Going to slowly source parts for it and make a MEF style set up for the rear. Engine options are either a 2.0 zetec turbo or a ST170 engine with the 5 speed.
Plenty of time to decide.
Few pics of how it stands at moment

Thanks for all the comments

They will be re-painted either Diamond white or silver
Maybe fitting an engine and gearbox might help
