Got a few mate, they are sort the rust and dents, strip out rear seats and plyboard from boot to front seats, find some nice cream leather front seats, then silly low and cut out the arches re seam weld and replace with wide fibreglass arches to accommodate some 9j 13" banded steels, then engine bits either 1043cc on bike carbs and gt cam or a 1.4 16v engine with some mods....
I think there's more ill do tho haha
