That will be a real beauty when finished.
Please keep us up to date on the build.
Very jealous as well.

Thanks lads.. I found this on Facebook sales. It turned out to be fairly local to me and I kinda know the guy selling it.. so I went with it.. bonnet is fairly rotten but the tub is in good order. Chassis looks to be ok but won't really know until I tear it down. Engine is not in it but it had a skim and porting before it was left.. the guy I'm buying it off was given it as a part exchange and never got round to it. He has another one which is immaculate. he actually has about 15 cars.. all old and worth money. Mercs, triumphs, a porsche, a capri. A couple of cortinas etc.
