Hello there, recently a friend was working out at a farm in devon where he heard the bloke that owned the farm he wanted to scrap everything in this one barn! Too his discovery there was this little Beaut sat in the corner!! (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/17/82f7e0d8c49e092cb9d005deb4c48822.jpg)
So I went over and with some fuel and she turned 3rd go!! So I bought it for £250!!
So just wanted to say hello and and very excited with the find, so will be restoring over the hopeful warm summer!

So prior to the last post Ive started to weld and grind back the cills, so next job is to roll it on its side and sort out the floor and arches!
On track to get it sprayed in the high of summer :) really enjoying doing my first resto on such a brill car. Cheers

So it's been a while since I've been on here and down the 126 but have put loads of time in lately to get bis back on the road! So have fully welded and undersealed the floor. Filled and rattled the whole car just to stop more rust as we are near the sea in Devon, lowered the leaf string and restored all the front shocks and rack. New clutch in, all filters, plugs and engine back in so now up to sorting out new lines and conversion on the brakes so not far off ready for MOT [emoji106]
Here are a few pics
