Delivered to my door Friday! Still in the "oh sh*t have I done the right thing?" phase but every time I look at her it feels right! Lots and lots of work to do but she drives and stops at least! https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_ca6TFvdy |

That is fantastic! Always liked the two door versions.
HAd two of them years ago. One was too rusty to consider as a viable project and the other I almost finished but got distracted and gave it away. Wish I hadn't now.

Yeah really chuffed I found a 2 door! The back door of a 4 door spoils the lovely rear curves I think but it's uninterrupted in the 2 door!

Where to start!?  Just about to order new discs, Capri vented with spacers for calipers, braided hoses and new pads. Those arches are terrible as you can probably see. I've got repair panels, just need to find someone to do the work as I'm no welder. Rear valance is crispy as hell as well so need a new one of those. Biggest thing is getting my garage built to keep her out of the elements! Hoping to get it built on that spot before winter. Plan to topup the underseal soon as I get a decent few days. I'll not bore you with the rest of the list! I'll just report back when I get to it! |

Only just saw this now Rob! Not much else done since my last post really, just some small jobs here and there, passed MOT in March there, nearly went on fire because of a fuel leak on the way to work a few weeks ago! I've just taken delivery last week of a 2L Pinto engine and 5 speed box. So I've got that to refurb and work out what I want to do with it. Will be taking into fixing some bodywork and respraying soon too. |

That little car has a lot going for it. Love the wheels you added. that motor looks great too...I guess it must stop and go really well!
I wonder if it could be a few clicks lower in the front?

JP cheers! yeah absolutely loving her, even with the underpowered 1.3 at the moment. looking forward to getting working on the 2lr and getting it in. definitely want to lower her at the front, it's on an already long list of things to do! |
