A lot of prep work to be done on the shell, but with so many parts off or coming off at least you'll be able to get into every crease and fold before the respray

It is, and theres more to come off/out yet.
Engine/gearbox will be out after i've removed the screens, then the H and A frames, steering rack etc, front and rear suspension, dash
Once i've put the nearside front door back on the car can will be ready to be moved to Wetherby then on to my mates for bodywork and spraying.
At this moment in time the car still has only cost me the purchase price and a days welding, and storage of course
Thanks, I've got another digidash aswel on another thread that doesn't need this ammount of work. When this red one travels to Wetherby the other one will come home
Managed to get half a day on this to complete its readiness to be moved.
As the nearside front door wouldn't line up properly the dash had to come out, i'm replacing it anyway as it's cracked in many places
No speedo cable, all wiring and more wiring
Rear of the display
Cassette holder, this looks very oldhat now
Last door now on and checked for gaps
Don't get this anymore, windscreen bottom rubber seal
On checking the front bumper support brackets I found them a bit rusty and useless. The bolts also are just turning in thier housing so that has to be replaced
Thanks, I've seen worse on other cars round the side screens and its quite solid so shouldn't be a problem.
The cars being moved to wetherby on the 12th May which is halfway to a mate who is going to compete the prep and spray it for me. It will be swopped with my other digidash project so I can complete it and hopefully get it roadworthy during the next couple of months as I want to use and show it this year.
Hi mate
None as its still waiting to be picked up. I'm in no hurry but if its not moved within the next six months I will bring it back and try another sprayer
