Welcome to the club!
Looks great now that all that work has been done. Looks like there was some serious work needed! What was involved for the £5k?
It's going to be stunning once painted.

I'm going to ask a question that may be really contentious... So, I apologise in advance for this question but I have to ask... Why didn't you spend the money buying a more solid Mk1? That is strong money for a Mk1... Were you after a project, or was there something specifically about this car?

Just so you know I'm not being a complete plonker... I have a Mk1 that I've also just spent a fair bit more than its value on, in sorting bits out. I could easily sell it and get a nicer one (or a different car) but I have a connection to this car from my childhood days, (admittedly a distant one) so it's the only Mk1 I want to have (at the moment - though I do often miss my supercharger). So I do get why people spend more than the cars value on sorting them out... Just being nosey as to what your reason was?
