Project 42 Discussion Thread

Comments for Project 42 here please

were is the chassis number you have photographed

Inside the boot, on the r/h/s there is a pull down flap to get to the lights, it's at the bottom of the well in there

Nice job on the headlights Steve; good luck with the the rest of the project...

Smooth rear window is a nice touch.

That's an OEM+ type modification that I could see the VW scene doing.

Thanks Rush, appreciate the positive feedback

MOT booked for next tuesday.... Fingers crossed...

good luck mate!

Major MOT fail on corrosion... Time to make a difficult choice...

Wow that's a list...
But... It's a project!! Get involved!!!!

This is one of those really difficult moments....

The car is rare enough to warrant preserving, but the bill for repairing it will be several times what it's worth.

Head or heart?.....

This!!!!

Heart wins...
It'll be repaired and put back on the road
Aim is to be ready well in time for Spa 2013

good man steve, get stuck in.

Rest in Peace number 42

At least you get to sleep with a Meerkat!

Rip number 42.

At least you have the sense to know when to quit. Wish i had.

I hate that advert... The first time was bad enough lol

Okay, so after 8 months of not having the heart to scrap it. Work will commence in the autumn in major rebuild - anyone have any free parts? Lol

I've got a few bits knocking about, depends what you're after

That's great, thanks
Will publish wish list soon. Popped to see a mate who runs a body shop today. Will start next month at a sedate pace, probably 4-5 days a month. Plan is to strip her right back and put everything right first time around. Have got 12 months-ish in my mind

Great decision and good luck with the restoration. Be sure to take lots of photos and post them up!

Will do, looking forward to getting started now
