The car to start with

I've had this car for some years now and its progress has been somewhat slow as it has kind of fell down the priority list over the years and sat at the back of the Garage gathering dust to be worked on every so often when I had a bit time, chances are with my final year at Uni beginning it may get mothballed again for a while, but I think writing about it will keep my motivated to keep it going aswell a the fact when am finished ill have a V8 monster with a potential + 300 BHP per tone.

This is what the car looked like when I first acquired it over 5 years ago from a  farm in Sunderland. The previous owner of the car, a friend of the family, was not too happy with the farm owners as he had the car stored there in a barn and they decided to move the car to make room for a cow or horse so instead of moving it properly, drove a bail spear (8ft long steel spike) on the front of a tractors hydraulic lift through the fibreglass body and the old Radiator and lifted the car up and moved it. Intent on scrapping the car after this incident and the already degenerated state, I offered to take it of his hands and give it a good home, and 2 days later towed it away.

Front of the Vehicle fist day I owned it, including the Damage from the encounter with the Tractor .

Rear of the car note the state of the degenerated Dunlop split rims, all in a bad condition.



Most of the rubber seals are either missing or perished. The cars chrome bright work is also missing, damaged or rusted and pitted. 

The "Old Boat Anchor" Essex V6 which  fired up and moved the car, 2 days later round the yard after some fresh oil, a new coil and a set of points, but  this engine is soon to be removed due to lack of "Grunt" and a costly Engine to get any more than 200 BHP.

The Interior in a bad condition, after standing for some time torn seals and damaged wiring,

More to come on the cars progress so far.
