So today the project to turn it into the rep of James Shead's car started in earnest.
Open the garage to find it still there to much relief as it hadn't been checked on since I put it in there months ago and it's in quite a rough area.

Pushed it out and found it had enough juice left in the battery to unlock etc but not enough to fire up:

Ash arrived with the truck and we got it loaded up:

Massive thanks to Ash and Marcus for sorting out the transport and arrived at the workshop:

After a quick jump off the MX5 it fired up and sounded OK, me and marcus then decided to rag it round the yard. Fun times. I went off to get some antifreeze to top it up and came back to find it had run out of petrol. Doh! Off out again for a jerry can of fuel (and a McDs).
Parked it up in it's new home and began stripping the front end down so we can start on the welding. Chassis leg is first on the list.

That's it for this weekend probably as I'm out for my Dad's birthday tomorrow.
