wavey You'll need bigger wheels than those Jon.

Good luck with the restoration - you have certainly taken on a big job. I look forward to seeing photos as your build progresses.

If you're not already then register on this site. The best Mk1 or Mk2 site by a long shot, all the help and info you'll ever need.

Gotta faff about with a couple of silly " hello my name's Bomber" type posts too get full access but well worth it.

Looks a great site. I restored a Mk2 2000 20 years ago - love these cars.

Looks like a bit of a Basil Fawlty moment - are you really hitting the car's bonnet with a big piece of angle-iron?

Good luck with that one mate, it's a challenge-project for the brave but most of the panels would need to be replaced anyway. Take your time and take lots of pics. Make a start and see how it turns out . . .

All the best.

Lived there from 76 - 84!

Stunning place to live and - were you visiting or living there?

Great folk, roads and scenery.

Ideal for an RS2000!
