Yeah I think all the moss on it etc has just held in the moisture, it was sat in a car park for 5 years and what used to be tarmac underneath was just covered in moss :lol: It's all easy fixes though so shouldn't take long! I'm gonna bin the vitara seats that are in it as I have a complete set of original seats that I'm going to fit.

Think it's gonna have to have a virtual lift! The rear arches are worse than I thought after peeling all the sealer off, It'll just be a subtle one for up to 31" tyres I think. Also pulled up a plate that was badly welded on, or should I say wasn't welded on to find another hole! Not a problem looks like it might be another body off resto :mrgreen:

I would cut the panels out this black one thats being scraped tomorrow, but the shells as bad as this.

If we don't sell the 95 body shell maybe I can cut bits of that to help this build?

If the body doesn't get sold that would be awesome Mike, I might phone around a few places to get some new replacements though, although I'm half tempted to virtual lift it for some 31s :er: I dont really want to though and I wouldn't use the wings I've just bought of you for that ;) would be silly chopping up a mint set of wings. Was it autoblechtielle in Germany that you got your new inner wings from? Can you remember how much they were?

Started a bit of work on it today, got a starter motor off Dan yesterday, cheers for that! :doublethumbs: last weekend I poured some oil into the cylinders and turned it over a few times by hand to make sure the bores weren't dry. So today I cleaned up the plugs and checked the gaps then found a coil, dizzy cap and some HT leads in my spares, hooked up a battery and hoped it would fire up. Considering the fuel was 5years old this happened :mrgreen:

Only ran it for about a minute though as I need to change the oil and filter before giving it a good run, it has the usual noises an engine that's been sat for so long has but sounds like its going to be a good'un once it's got some fresh oil in it and everything gets properly lubed up.

Also started the fun bit, cutting out rust :hack:

Yeh that's who I used for panels, I remember them being expensive.
