Glad she's back with u pal all safe and sound, wots plans for restoration then? Full paint
Cheers, its such an original car hence why I saved it from the crusher!
It will be a long term project, but will be done right. To be honest im not aiming for a completion date at the moment.
Will be full respray, any welding needed doing and then going fully OE.
But when finnished wont be left on my drive!
Sounds like a good plan pal, will look awesome with fresh paint and decals
Full restro mate. Glad she's back
