    SAVED FROM THE SCRAPPERS: The Mk1 recovery mission

    As some of you've seen in the wanted to buy section, i'm on a bit of a rescue mission to save the rotting, neglected mk1's sitting around in sheds and yards in the Perth area.
    This is the first:
    roccodingo gave me this one yesterday as it was about to be chopped up!!
    Rotten floor, and some slight twist to the bodyshell, so it'll be a perfect track day and hillclimb car. Will keep the really straight cars for the road and lessen the risk of bending them terminally.
    Don't worry, this wont distract from my 20vt convo, it's just a rescue mission.... for now. I'll store them up at the workshop where they'll be checked over properly, and gradually restored and re-licensed.
    If we save just a couple, or ten mk1's from unnecessary death it will still be worth it!
    Thanks Grant!!

    BTW, its a '76er with the early bonnet!!
    You can see the different gappage from both doors and the funny overhang of the tailgate out the sides.






    Badly rotted floor

    Cant believe you chacked that kit, easy fix with some fibreglass filler.

    Do you want a white drivers door for the Mk2?
