Hi All

Right the list is

Scuttle panel
Sun Roof Frame + Gasket
Both rear Inner and Outer Arches
Rear panel ( Distant future ad s not really that bad )
N/S Inner and outer sill
Under Seal Whole car.
Fit 325 Engine
Upgrade Brakes
Upgrade Suspension
Fit Proper tyres with tread
Respray
Then lock away so nothing touches it.

This is feeling expensive :eek:

yer, unless you are bored with nothing else to do, then i'd just buy a decent one, there is a lot of work there. However if restoring old cars lights your fire then great project :D
