good luck, is it not as bad as the pc resto car??

Nowhere near as bad. I also plan to get it solid underneath and reliable to run (at least initially). Will have to sort the rear valance and the front wheel arches for the MOT man. Underneath will need rear jacking points and rear quarters on the ...

Thinking I might go for the CJ Auto's one. I will also be able to use it on my Ascona 400 snd then either rent it out or sell it on. Will go to the NEC middle of Nov and have a look.

We have been toying with the idea of using a CJ Autos body roller instead of a ramp/2 post lift. At £950 they are a bit steep but would ...

Not really a barn find as it was never lost and it’s not in a barn.....
This Daimler has been parked for the best part of 30+ years. Most of its life has been in my Dad’s garage with a short stay of a few years in my Nanna’s garage and a garage up the road from my parent’s house.
