Always liked this Mk1 ! Be interesting to see what he does to it.

Only 1 thing that always bugged me was the Airfilter setup. All that work to make a clean bay and then the Air filter stuck on the end of a strap to the strut top just looked lazy.

It's not being changed really, just stripped down to be freshened up. New genuine drivers side wing (current was an ill fitting pattern copy) new genuine door skin, sills checked for rot (and found to be solid) new genuine scuttle panel, a few bits cut out and tidied up in the engine bay, rear panel corners cut out due to rot and replaced. Bonnet paint removed with a chisel (yes it was that flakey



Anyways how she looks now...























It will also be staying Mexico Beige :afro:

I'll keep it updated as best I can but if any of you are on ED38 here's the link to the build

Well I hope it was cheap if it had to have grot cut out of it, or someone got mugged buying that all polished and shiny, surely.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
