I bought ERL 404K in November 2012, doesn't time fly, and drove it 100 miles home to Cupar in Fife. I noted at the time that problem areas were:
Rot passenger side at base of 'A' post.
Panel to wing joints front & rear.
Hole corner of windscreen and nearside wing.
Underneath not known.
Boot lid & Doors need replacing.
Wheel arches LOOK OK.
Some restoration has been done.
I would remove bumpers? Don't know what I meant.
Respray in existing colour.
MOT Expires 28th August 2013
As I did not have space for it it was stored at a local garage over the winter while I built a leanto. I visited it regularly and problems while stored were tyres going flat and leaking float valves. Sometime in 2013 it was moved to the leanto and there it stayed for some time.
In 2016 I started looking for someone to do the bodywork but two people came to see it but never got back to me which was a bit worrying. Eventually I found someone through a friend. He was only part time as he has a 'day job'. Sods Law he was looking for new premises so it was not until December 2016 that it was transported to the bodyshop.

That is the story so far. There will be lots of questions as I am converting it back to TV8.
