I can't believe 001 was left to get in such a bad state and I'm shocked at how rusty it had become 
I thought my old classic I broke was bad 
Great to see it being restored and the paint job loos superb, you're very lucky owning 001 and the effort will be worthwhile.

Every car has a price though mate
but i don't see many people with 8 grand waiting to take it off me I waited long enough to get this car and being the co-owner of the owners club it only seems right i keep 001
I wish i had the money to make this car concourse but at the end of the day it will be used through the middle of the year as my day to day car

The worst was behind the front bumper as the support bar was a right mess. Replaced that (cheap from Subaru) and tidied up the back one properly so all set now I hope.
Have inspected the rear arches and they are A1 - all cleaned out behind and solid. Only place I am worried about now is round the front and rear screens so may take those out this year and sort them.

Car looks great mate and is a credit to you. In a time when people seem to be breaking classics more and more it is great to see an older one rescued properly.
