Today was a good day! Bill at Malvern Glass Fibres is a really nice guy (thought i'd get that out straight away) came and met up with us even though he was dying of man flu.
Firstly, the Barchetta body was around the back;
Next to the Barchetta body was a tarp;
Under said tarp there was the sorry remnants of the 126- we loaded up which was a nightmare trying to back the trailer down the narrow entrance.. so we gave up and pushed the car along the drive, surprisingly easy with no body (minus the razor sharp edges!);
I did however manage to get a glimpse of the infamous Barchetta moulds, which (from what bill said) he uses to make those man cave tables, without cutting actual cars in half.. which I thought was pretty neat!
And in his/her final resting place for a couple of days before I pull it's heart out;
From what Bill said, the project was never completed because the Barchetta body didn't fit.. From what I've observed from the car, it was never going to work out, too much body was cut off, I have no clue how it could've been successfully mounted onto the 126 with it being safe.. The car is like a big jelly cube. At least a couple of good things came out of today, Sometime 2018 the rally 126 will be thundering down the backroads of Staffordshire thanks to OYC, and I met Bill, and he was a really nice man- he made us cups of tea because it was very cold..
