If I had a decent size garage I would keep it and continue the work but it's too much to do on a driveway and we now have too many cars to continue storing it.

Yes it is still available. I would like to find it a new home. Even being stripped down for parts to save other series 1 cars is preferable to it go going to the scrap yard, hence offering it for free.

Evening all, For offer as per tittle is a series one 2000sc from 1965. From memory I think mileage is around 89000. No service history other than V5. The car has extensive rot and is beyond my ability to restore. It needs new sills both sides, complete boot floor, the edge of the drivers side...

Abi playing on photo shop is what led to her wanting he red roof as she altered it in photoshop and liked the effect. I wanted to keep the same white as I have already sprayed the a,b and c posts the original colour as I have been repairing them. I have been using rattle cans from Halfords but...

I have managed to get some more work done now the weather is improving. With the base unit now almost finished I have moved onto the doors. Sorry forgot to take photos before starting the rear nearside door but I found rust in the frame at the leading and trailing edges where the reinforcement...

We already saved the car from going to the scrap yard once and I've put too much hard work into it to give up now although there have been moments when I threatened to have it towed away. Still lots to do but I can put the welder away for now. The car is unlikely to be back on the road before...

At last I have finally had time to finish the gutters on both sides of the car and get them painted.

After a long period of being too busy to get any work done due to family events and my other car getting written off I finally managed to get some more work done this week. Offside gutter is now completely replaced and primered ready for the top coat. The nearside was no where near as bad, the...

I have spent the last couple of days welding in the new gutters on the one side of the car and am very pleased that with slight alteration to the original stamping tools the new gutter sections fit perfectly and retain the original look although you have to be put them in in short sections as...

I have now taken the plunge and removed the roof to assess how bad the gutters had rotted as they were allowing water to seep into the rear foot wells. Having now discovered that there are no repair panels for the gutters I started to wish I had not prodded at this suspect area of the car. With...

It's been a while since the last post but things are still progressing slowly. Virtually all weldng other than the gutters (cant rail) is completely finished and I am now on to the paint stage on most areas. I suspect this (painting) and my 4-year-olds social life are the main things...

managed to get a lot more done the last two days. Front nearside sill and jacking point repaired, I was realy please I was able to save this section rather than replace it completely given the amount of work i had to do on the other side. Once I started cutting out the rust i only had to remove...

More progress and a few steps back today. Striped out the rest of the interior ready to finnish welding the nearside jacking point and to paint the floor pans only to find the boat loving previous restorer had been at it again with the boat fibreglass. The nearside inner sill is not welded to...
