PeskyWabbits 464 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Will you be able to store it? Can you allocate a regular day for spending time on it? The hardest part is starting though. It is all achievable but if this is your first restoration, it may be worth seeing how much they go for when finished. A restoration is a big commitment on time and money, but mainly time. And a destroyer of relationships Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hily 379 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 just stick a battery on it . I would say your biggest problem would be rust get under it with a chipping hammer a see what is metal and what is holes if you are a sheet metal worker than not so much of a problem . labour costs !

stealthy1 3,964 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If you can weld, and have a lot of time on your hands, then go for it. Bare in mind that it will cost more to restore than what it will be worth when it's it's done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacknife 2,005 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Have a look and see if its had any welding under the bonnet to the suspention struts There used to be a scrap yard in Nelson Yorkshire that dealt in Mk1 and Mk2 spares...not sure if its still there This was mine that i sold sold a few years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
