Hi Ian
Thanks it does look tidy now but when got it wasn't such a pretty sight as was covered in mud and grass etc.
I already checked the underside and she doesn't have too much major rust just usual surface rust on bits that I have already started cleaning at and also dead grass etc but getting that cleaned off properly when can get her up for a bit of time on ramps or something haha, yea she will already looks good and turned some heads on the trailer to the shed with even police stopping us just so they could look around her and take some pics of her lol
Damn that's long.... she looks amazing now, hopefully get to see it in person someday when I manage to get mine on the road :D
They always look way better in person than in pics I have found, though a lot of classics are like that :lol:

I will even if it takes all my money and time I will get her done someday ;)

Sorry for being really quiet as busy with degree ending etc so haven't had time to do anything or go to the cars until yesterday.
Well just going to run through the updates on her:
Got her cleaned up a bit, looks slightly better now with some extra dust etc off her, planning to clean the engine bay more soon.
Got her starting again and she is healthy so super happy, even gave a bit of a spit haha
Problem with fuel pump was easier than we thought, a wire had just come loose whilst she was on the trailer which stopped it going, we were going to pull it out and noticed it, plugged it up and she fired :)
Next plans are to order brake pads and try to fix the calipers ourselves if can do something with them and also to maybe to jack her up and check suspension etc out and even clean up the underbody more so it isn't covered in surface rust etc.
Only problem is she was unhappy as tried to eat my hand when trying to start her haha
Well sorry for no pics phone was dead so couldn't take any but will take some next time out, btw in case someone is wondering that there is little work done to her for having full days there, it's because we actually have 5 cars that are all getting either restored or fixed up out there, she is the main resto but I have a 323f I'm trying to fix up too for using as first car so sorry for the slow progress on her as 323 has main priority atm as doesn't need much and is needed on the road asap. Just decided to let u guys know :)
Hope can update more often now that finishing degree and going to have more time now.

P.S sorry put in wrong section, will copy to projects section now haha I'm half asleep...
