Body is relatively straight with only 2 small sections for rust repair ....

I have already started to strip it of all unneccesary rubish, like back seat, rear door trims, rear parcel shelf, spare tyre etc. etc.

Over the coming year, I plan on having a LOT of work done from cage to seats and an engine rebuild. I will be sticking with the 6 cylinders for a while, at least until I am somewhere near capable of driving in a race :

The best part is, I can now have a toy to go out and play with you guys on the track .....
