Thanks The MaDDeSTMaN, The MkI needs a lot of work as you can see in this pic there isnt much left of the floor, but the rest of the car is virtually rust free. but it will all be worth it when its finished.

WHAT THE?! Thats a flintstone car!

Damn, i'm glad i'm just at the point where I want one in reasonable condition and bring it up to spec rather than completely rebuild!

45,000km service coming up - and i'll be asking for a sizable list of fixes:
* Gearbox (3rd time)
* Steering click (5th time)
* Brake Shudder (2nd time, and has the applied "Fix")
* etc...

Yeah the floor was rusted through so we cut it out like that and i have got a replacement floor panels to go in. This is a lot easier for me to fix than exterior panel work where you cant buy new panels any more.

Thanks i will have a look through my collection and see if there are any more. I have fixed Page 4 of the track day.

Hope they were useful and all prices are in British Pounds aswell so things arent really that cheap.

Cheers
