Needs a lot of love, but at least it's being saved. Gareth Hi Gareth, yes it does need a bit of TLC alright. Last night put in a clutch master and slave cylinder, cobbled together a half assed temporary repair on the throttle cable and it drove up on the trailer for its registration examination this morning. Cant say the little car isn't trying! Friday first start in 30 odd years and Sunday first self propelled drive, this car is going to make it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRier Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi folks, just a bit of feedback. Took the car to my registration inspection, it drove up on the trailer under its own steam and started and ran perfectly at the inspection so she now has her new Irish registration and I can start the restoration project without worrying about rule changes in taxation or registrations. I'll start another thread and note the problems I encounter along the way in case it helps anyone else sometime, meantime thanks again for the assistance in getting to this point. I've got it stripped now almost to the point where I can lift the body off, its like this, I have half the car taken off, there is a quarter left and I swept up the other 1/4 and I can see a bit more sweeping in the near future, . On a positive note its not going to be very heavy for lifting purposes and I've ordered plenty of sheet metal! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
