Project Aero

Ahh I’m pleased it ended up on here. You beat me to it by 30 seconds. I sent my second message offering to buy it just as you must have been on the phone. It was up for a song as well!! Well done

If you fancy a roof swap I need a sterling grey one
You’ll get a better return selling them seperatley

No way?!?!

Turns out the seller knows the other half family as it was over Grimsby way!

And yeah- got it for a good price… despite how damn rough it is!

What roof you got? I’m not a fan of hard tops and was going to sell on fleabay?

Exact same, just a nice little merlot red number.

I’ll drop you a note

Nice spoiler!

That looks like a great project Stuart.

A tired example that needs some TLC but has a great spec. - lovely.

[bigwinn]

Thanks Mr Tidy- will get pics up as I progress!

Good and bad day today

Found some bad rust on the passenger door, so needs a new one of those.

But apart from that- progressed well.

Yesterday got new OSF and OSR wings in good condition- so they are going on this weekend.
Hit the interior today- cleaned, carpet scrubbed, seats out and ready for recolouring. Dash etc cleaned. Hood roof cleaned.
Stripped the boot so I can see the roof motor ready to sort that ****er
Front bumper off ready for repainting
New HL brake light fitted

Now it doesn't smell I feel better about it!

And met Rob (Zulu4) today when he popped over- good to meet another forum member!

I have a rust spot (size of a hand) on my passenger door.

Question is have it repaired or replace it????

Same colour as yours as well

[bigwinn]

I’m going for a door from a breaker; the guy I picked the wings up from has a complete unit for £70 and at that point it’s bolt on- done

[bigwinn]

Started today restoring the seats- out the car and recoloured- then reinstalled.
Sorted the locking solenoid on the central console
Polished the headlights
Got into the scuttle to clean and unblock drains- oh my goodness what a state-
Took the badly corroded wing off- no time to fit the new one

Will do

The wings so far look a good match…

Bumper repaint worries me
