Re: newbie
Quick update...
We cleaned it all out and the floorpan is pretty good apart from the drivers footwell and a little bit behind the drivers seat.
The starter solenoid was sticky but we fixed that... throttle was completely jammed so the carb came off for a clean up
Battery didn't come with it so we found one...
Got it started up finally and it purrs like a kitten! unfortunately i broke my old windscreen taking it out so he will have to find another one!
We had it running for a while and the alternator works so with a few patches of welding, windscreen and indicator bulb we might be down for an MOT next week
forgot to get more pics so will add more in the morning

Mid afternoon update...
We started on the hole at the front of the rear tub this morning, pretty standard place for them to rust!
Not the best bit of cutting welding but it will hold!!!
this was it just tacked into place we have welded it properly haha
In the front footwell we found this:
and this
which turned into this! lol

Looks likes you've dug some awesome foliage out of it. Good to see it getting saved.
I take it you're gonna MOT it?

Re: Mudmenace's Purple 410
Mot will be soon, had to cut about 5x5" of rust out of the footwell but is nearly plated up now, should have the welding all done in a couple of days
Also it needs a fog light, switch and wiring is there just no light lol
