The car was put into a workshop that was willing to help out very cheaply so the car will be back on the road very soon.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah mate she's back on the road, and so far so good.. Had a bit of trouble souring parts as I am a fussy *******, but at this stage all I'm missing is the chrome strip around the top of the rear bumper.
