GDM 987C Resto

Post by ronnie_howes »

Hi guys, this is my first ever moggy :) i'm 21 and love my classics but this one will test my skills to the max i think.

Picture of when i picked her up:

First things first get rid of that 1300 Marina engine

Next took the wing off to see current condition, not to bad but could do with tidying up. I think a quick bit of underseal will do the job nicely.

At the moment it has a MG interior, dolomite steering wheel and a steering collumn from the unknown, custom set out dials and no glove box's, a box welded in under the bonnet to house a master cylinder and clutch cylinder and a welded tunnel to house the bigger gearbox.

So this is going to be a big one for me and the parts list begins :)

More pictures later

Any help/information would be great and can anyone help me out with the original colour? its been changed twice?

Original paint lurks in the hidden hard to re-spray areas like the back of the glovebox (take out the liner)
