I'm painting it in the original colour (well it was a colour match anyway). I don't like any other colours that aren't between white and black.

Here is the car coming to bits. The pictures are going backwards and forwards but you know how it all goes.

So there was a bit of a fire in the engine bay (look at the bonnet) but I have had a good look and there is no significant, structural warping (see the burning below)






Here's the bonnet after several embarrassing attempts to 'bring it back'. An absolute failure evidently. So I have managed to purchase 2 spares.






And the engine out:






And the engine out and about.






Here is the undercarriage which is quite neat in my opinion, just aged paint peeling off, no scary bodge jobs.




Here is the car all stripped bar the dashboard. This shot was taken late at night when it flooded at work. The rains finally broke and washed all the volcanic ash off the hilside into the bloody workshop. We've moved about 100 cubic metres already and we are still going. Can you see the diffs in the mud, H145, H150, H165 (bottom left)?





Here is my poor 1200 (don't worry Jake she'll be turboed before the end of the year). Waiting for some attention....unfortunately 1000's take priority.
