Job is in notts but im only there in the hilton a few nights a week. Rallye was trailer to my grans where its sat ever since apart from a clean. Ive bought all the servicing parts for it and theyre all inside it but havent had time to actually make a start hunting down this core plug. Gran has also moved into a home so we are emptying the house and thats probably going to go in the next year so looks like I wont have space for cars and car parts. Itll either end up on my drive at home or ill take it to Carl Chambers to do the work.
The bulkhead rot is probably about 4cm at most along the crossbeam. It can be welded with the engine in place but the interior carpet needs to come out. Might as well replace the heater matrix at the same time. I want to take the engine out and paint the bay anyway.
Still not decided on whether to keep interior standard, partial strip and cage or a full strip and cage. At the end of the day its always going to be a Rallye and with bodies and standalone ecu its never going to be the factory fresh classic so i might as well strip and cage it which was my original plan.
