Thanks for the responses, and I see both sides to them.
In hindsight I probably should have gone for a kit car, but the charm and size (particularly as I have a small garage!
) just seemed more endearing and I do want to finish this project.. the incoming sprog just means that I'll have to take longer to finish is all.
I suppose a bare minimum would just be getting the components restored to a roadworthy condition and I re-assemble from a bare chassis and box of bits; I think my naivety stemmed from never having to restore something before.
Previous work has meant I have experience in assembling and fettling things but nothing as in=depth as restoration.
I'll upload some pics to show what state it is currently in (apologies for the mess! :
)
Cheers,
Dave
