The plans are to strip it out remove as much as possible and see were i stand condition wise and sort out any major problems and afew bits of rust.
My main goal is to have,

Wide kit and be light as possible replace as many body parts with fibreglass or (if i can find the funds) afew carbon parts
Strip it out, if its not needed then its not staying.
Roll cage
Bucket seats,belts
Polycarbonate windows (full set)

Then start to think about the engine, do i go redtop or c20LET

Well the weather was not on my side today but did what i could,
i removed front seats

then removed all the sound deadening and door cards aswell as wires/stereo and tv's

now for the bad bits

thinking about cutting the spare wheel area out and plate it up.

who ever did this area clearly did not master the age old art of silicone welding lol

and a plate some one has bodged in at somepoint in its life. cutting that out for sure.

next is to remove the dash at somepoint, then cut out all the rust areas start from fresh have a tidy up treat afew areas and give it a lick of paint.

Cheers

Sorry to butt in, just wanted to ask how you got rid of the sound deadning under the rear seats? I've stripped mine off and its left that black tar stuff which you can see in your pictures in the front footwells.

Looks to be a good project by the way

You use thinners, rags and lots of time!
