I've bought this to restore.

Never thought about a build thread...although I think it may be over a looong time,if past projects have been anything to go by!
Past experience involved rebuilding my first car (an MG Metro ) many moons ago,modding a MK2 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6,a Corrado G60 and generally spannering around with the stuff in between.
And having a go always goes hand in hand with getting stuck with not having a clue,then reaching for the hammer/molegrips/prybar.

Love it! I'm currently looking for a cheap Beetle or bay window project. Missed out on a bargain recently because I dithered too much Will be interested to read your progress on this

After a couple of hours and the use of an angle grinder later...



Pretty solid and (so far) rot free.
