Like you say, small but friendly - I pop out and see the guy who has the car and see if he's on there, and if not get you some details

Wow thats an epic amount of work................

Top marks.

Given the amount of welding I think I would have found another shell, then just welded the ID numbers in.

That was one of the options given to me but then the car would of
lost its originality for ever and the car would then of been worthless
if anyone ever found out,so i just told my mate to get stuck in

He should of been on the New Years honours list for the job he did

I have only just noticed this thread, top marks for rescuing McRae #001, it really was in a bad state.

Great to see it back on the road

Brilliant restoration, and left original. I would imagine in a few years that will be worth a few dollars.
