Checked the spare on the Volvo and it's the same as the rear wheels so I'll just need to find another the same to have a complete set.

It really is quite rough but not to worry, I have a spares car to get most of the panels from.

I like how the driver's seat is still in it. Optimism! Or is it so you can go outside and sit in it making "vroom vroom" noises? :D

 

No, that style of interior is worthless so didn't see any pointy in removing it if nobody will ever want to buy it.

They just don’t make tide marks like that any more.

That will be one of the first things to go when it has it's makeover along with the pikey graphics. I'm toying with the idea of painting it but haven't decided whether to paint it red or change the colour altogether.

OMFG I wanna move to Haggis land...!!!!

All those cars.. all those Cheap cars!!!

 

And you have a proton and a 305....I have owned both in the past and adored them both (well.....erm... liked)

I think if I had storage I would be in competition with FOAD , I'd love a yard of my own to tinker and rummage.....ON CARS!! Get ya minds out the gutter LOL..

 

Feel like donating the Proton to a poor old-ish Yam Yam???? Will supply Irn Bru???  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

It's like a sports tidemark the way it kicks up to the back wheel. Adds 13bhp.

Posted

It only has 27bhp at the wheels.

The power to weight ratio is excellent... 5403e945e0af7c5cf547b553e3f353c4.jpg

It's not really too bad, it just appears to be the sill ends and rear arches that are affected. I've managed to cut out most of the rot so hope to get it welded up over the weekend. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about arch panels? I hear that Fiesta arches are cheap.

Doesn't look bad if that's the worst of it.

Are you going to be stuck welding this back together, I'm nosey and want to see what happens with the stainless rods...

Mig welding it, I don't have a stick welder at the moment.

Just needs a bit of positive pressure at the inlet to help it along.

 

Keen to see this progress.

 

Myself and a few other took one and a citroen BX around bits of europe for a couple years running.
