There's one positive thing about this rusty pile of s..t , kinda hard to explain though. I'm interested in making the chassis stiffer. Now , if I didn't have to pretty much cut it in to pieces and put it back together, I wouldn't know what I know now, where the chassis needs strengthening etc. (well , I think I know :) )
Once you cut something out and make a new part , you always make it stronger , and weld/glue it on so it sits on tighter than original.
Before anyone asks, a roll cage is something I just don't want in a street car.
Reason I'm trying to rebuild this shell and not switch to a newer one in better condition , is that this one is so old. Once I re register it and have it MoT'd , it has less strict emission limits than cars 1986 onwards. Plus side indicators aren't mandatory before 1985.
