Forgot i hadn't updated this in a little while. The project has gone above and beyond what i anticipated for it, but don't they always?
Started putting some bits back into the engine bay to make some sort of progress on it. Cleaned up the firewall shield a bit too, scrubbed the loom and got the manual pedals and clutch master in.
This is where the fun begins......... the car then went down to see James at Retro Roadsports for a complete welding job including two new sills left and right, a new rear section on passenger side, and manual tunnel swap. I'll let the pictures do the talking here but the work was quite extensive. He did say he enjoyed doing it though and would welcome many more through the door.
I picked up the car last week from James and wasted no time in getting the sills protected, started but rubbing them back, masking them up - sprayed in 2k Epoxy then seam sealed.
Next step will be to tackle the wheel arches, drop the subframes and clean up the underside
