Good idea edd. Get to know the old girl first before diving in.

Will you be coming in it to the Bristol autojumble ?

Cheers

Julian

I doubt it as my first job is to replace the hood and at the same time look at a poly bush conversion

Just as long as I have a fun spring and summer I will do as many jobs as I can until then

Really looking forward to the jumble

my wife is joking saying does she need a silk scarf to wear in the car

After carefull thought and due to some very good advice via the soc forum I am going to do some jobs as a rolling restoration to keep her on the road for the summer. I was going to plunge into the abiss of a complete strip but then it dawned on me I can do lots of jobs gradually. Rechrome where needed. Fix my gauges and re upholster my drivers seat. And when she is really up together it will be a far easier job to strip and respray as everything will fit and it will gives more time to source parts and learn about this wonderfull car

Thanks again for the advice everyone

Sounds like a good plan to me Edd, that's what I did in 2009 when I bought mine. I took it of the road in October and it was back on the road in March 2010. Don't forget the National Day as well in August as you will have it on the road.
