The initial idea is to give it a wash, put together the engine, duck tape the hole in the rear wing and get an MOT and drive it.
The car was handed over to a dubious mechanic some time ago for some engine work and subsequently lost its original wheels, some internal engine parts, exhaust, brake calipers and drive shafts. The engine case is the original but needs pretty much most of its internals........and the list is quite long.....and expensive
Obviously back in the day if you had one of these you weren't happy listening to music like a mere mortal......you had to listen like a don.......I wanted to keep it all as a little nod to the 80s/90s but decided I'd probably have enough trouble with wiring without having to work out how this little lot goes together. Plus probably a fire hazard.....and undoubtably uses a few bhp.
and yes that is a CB radio in there
Thought the little fella in the middle of these two bad boys was a tweeter.........turns out it was a heater.
As with all good restorations.....I'm going to start with the wheels.
I have some 15x7/8's but will try and find some 10's for the back. Not sure I can go wider?
