Still got this car and have done nothing with it. It's currently in my garden under a car cover. However have collected many new genuine old stock parts including roof skin £500 from Italy , both inner rear arches, boot, doors, bonnet, A post, grille, headlight, bumper fog lights, bumper mounted hea...

I haven't been here for a while but work is progressing slowly due to work commitments. Have got a new old stock rear wing from Italy for the drivers side and a new old stock A panel for the passenger side. I have started repairing the rear chassis rail on the drivers side.

Top work m8.
Looks like a lot of effort.

Have also obtained replacement roof, rear floor complete with suspension turrets, front and rear suspension, engine stabilising brace and a few other bits and pieces.
Hopefully be making a start autumn time.

Bought replacement doors , boot with spoiler and drivers front wing.
Going to see a replacement roof and some other parts tomorrow night.
Had a small bit of welding to do on boot but all done now.
Removed old boot and everything attached to it.

What paint system did you use for the wheels?

At the moment have removed all glass , rear lamps and bumper, wiring loom where possible. I did want to remove the fuel tank but will try when I get it in the garage as I have a hole in the ground so we don't have to lift it as high.
If any one has any parts could you let me know. Many thanks Jerry
