This pic gives you an idea of how much room there is to work, as paul daniels said (not a lot)

Its difficult to tell from these pictures but the original colour of the car is silver, after the fire it was jet black, i managed to restore it to around 90% original colour but the clear coat is still stained with soot, giving the car a greeny shade of silver, i will be removing the car from the garage on wednesday to remove the engine, so i will take some better pics of the exterior and you should be able to see what i mean.

Morning chili
It is a bit of a project, as for timescale unsure its going to take a fair bit of coin which I haven't much of, first off is engine out on Wednesday then I can remove the body on Saturday if all goes well, then I can get a better idea of how much the chassis is going to cost, I've had a quote of £300 to soda blast and re powder coat it but that's without outriggers or wishbones, so its a case of play it by ear.
