| Well, car has now arrived and is being stored at a local garage until I make space. Given I hadnt seen it prior to buying I was a little apprehensive before going to take a look today...but, its as in the photos - there is no damage to the body, but its going to need a lot of work and is a touch "see through" in a few spots. It seems largely complete and a great basis for a cracking car! Will upload a few more photos later. |

| Hi Jonathan. What a cracking car. It looks like a very good base to build on. Also a good thing that is has its original dashboard. |

| Well there's a bit to do. It probably looks worse than it is because it hasn't been used for some time. The shell looks reasonable. Has the nearside A pillar been replaced? I assume it's white gelcoat - most of them were - but what's the grey stuff? What's the rear subframe like? The end plate bolts could be difficult to get out without shearing them off. Replace with stainless allen bolts if you reuse the subframe. Fit adjustable camber brackets as you're likely to need a bit more negative. |

Happy New Year all. Wish someone had told my kids a 6.30am start is just not on....
The car will need a full strip down and I anticipate new subframe front and maybe rear. Don't think it's had a pillar work and grey must be remnants of primer applied at some point in anticipation of something.
Off to Brooklands for new year meet. |

| I would have been off to Brooklands if the Jem was running properly. The Marcos isn't pre-1973. |
