Rustbucket project (Mk1)

Postby zeolite » Thu Feb 15, 2018 11:29 am

First of all, it was very cheap!

This is the new project since the Nevada is up and running about. 100 quid off Gumtree gets you a very rusty runner that has been drifted. Comes with welded diff and hydraulic handbrake (which will be very useful for autotesting). It runs and seems to have all its gears but the big issue is the rusted out sills and arches. Nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of time and welding.
