Had this little run about for years languishing in the bushes awaiting me to get myself in gear and sort it out. Failed MOT 15 years ago on smoking engine and has sat in field ever since.
I took the body off 12 months ago expecting chassis to be really bad but was pleasantly suprised and it's really good. So what did I do? Yep, towed it back into the field again and left it for another 12 months.
I have it back in the workshop again now, main problem is one of the rear engine cradle tubes needs repalcing, it looks to have been hammered and bent in order to fit a new exhaust manifold without taking the engine out at some point in last 33 years! I`ll report back in a day or so when I suss out the camera properly for advice on replacing the tubing.
