My first ever attempt at a light restoration
Small progress update, I wired up a strip light to my work area and stripped more things out such as the power steering pipes and reservoir, engine heat shield, wiring, offside hub and strut.

A little self reminder of how she looked:

Things on the to do list are (in no particular order):

Shot blast the front hubs and calipers
Rebuild all calipers
Paint calipers and hubs
Remove and paint the sub frame
New copper brake lines
New disks and pads all round
New front shockies and springs
Seek advice on the condition of the rear beam
New track rod ends
New wheel bearings
Check C pillars for inevitable rust
Remove front wings and side skirts
Finish stripping the engine bay to weld and paint
Paint engine block, fit timing belt and clutch
Clean and paint the gear box
Give the underside a complete overhaul while the engine is out welding in replacement panels where needed
Source loads of bolts as many were way past it
Source plastic wiring/pipework clips
Look at this list and throw up from anxiety lol

Much more stuff to add to that to do list, but I dont want to scare myself anymore than I need too Tongue
