Oooh I say...................
Looks like its been kissing bollards though...............1 carefull lady owner?
What did you pay for it...if you dont mind me asking. Is it a runner/non runner, miles, tax & MOT'd? PM me if you dont wish to openly post, would be of interest to know what one in need of attention goes for. We've still not made up our mind's what were doing with ours, its just too easy to shut the garage door & forget about it for another few months!

That looks very very similar to the condition my classic was in (well, me and mates joint project) before we stripped it down.

Good luck Andy, i hope you have a bottomless wallet

Love your enthusiasm can't wait to see this build. Hope it goes well.
where you getting panels from, genuine panel I hope?
just makes life so much easier with genuine panels, they fit alot better as they are made from the original press tool and not made using an actual panel for the template.
Mates driving to somerford mini this morning to fill the back of his 58 clubby with MPi front end, door skins, rear valance and 4 trims that cover the seams.
