 Well, I've made a bit more progress in the last couple of weeks. As I said earlier I got no keys with the car which makes moving it quite a challenge as the steering lock was engaged. In my large collection of spares I managed to find another ignition switch complete with key, so last weekend I cut off the keyless lock and fitted the "new" one. This weekend I decided to make it driveable so that when the time comes to weld it up I don't have to push it in the workshop. The clutch master cylinder and pedal was siezed solid so I fitted a new cylinder, unsiezed the pedal and bled the clutch. The throttle pedal had also siezed, so I freed that off too. I rather enjoyed driving it round the yard today, it has no footbrake at the moment, but amazingly after 15 years of standing the handbrake still works. I've taken no pics as the car looks no different at the moment...but there will be some as the car progresses.

Wow! you've got a few Skodas, whats wrong with the white one that sits there. And the blue one. It's unusual seeing 51 platers sitting around.
