Plenty of work there mate, but good
to see another mk1 brought back to life.

Looks like a fun little project.
Are you gonna return it to it's original colour or keep it as is?

Cool looking car - i'd hate to think what one even in that state would set you back these days (with appropiate OSF tax applied of course).
Keep us posted.

Top find, very period! love it, be cool if you can keep some character during the rebuild. Also see PPC mag they have got on the restore a mk1 bandwagon, on a budget like so should be an interesting read for you.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

The spaceframe attempt was being performed by a private company, not by the magazine, the magazine just hosted the story. This went tits up in the end though and still hasn't been completed. PPC are now rebuilding a crusty mk1 themselves, so it should be on going as long as the budget is there. |
