This is our Red Sprint - we've had her for nearly six months, and done virtually nothing with the old girl, (save for going along a few great driving roads in the peak district, without a working overdrive!)
- and she's sat outside the front of our house doing nothing, looking a bit neglected -
- as she seems to be third in line for "Project time", after my sons new VW Derby Project, and our newly acquired Sprint Auto....
..she's quite smart - but not original, as John( Previous owner) did a mammoth session and stripped, primed, and painted the old girl in ( ...round about! ) Ten days...
...she's a solid old girl - door apertures perfect...
...solid cills...
...only patch I can see is the boot-to-offside-rear vallance...
...only rotten bit - easy fix ( Johnny Welder Sparks again!)
...altho' this does look a little dodgy - solid tho...
...one slightly bent chassis rail...
....Solid Chassis up top tho'...
...VERY good floorpans...
...does this mean what I think it means...?
...does the " S " stand for something special...?
Rear arches very clean - no bubbles - there's a first for me...!
...rot free....

...even the roof is clean and rot free...
..to say she's been outside in the snow, Ice, Rain..lots of rain...the paint has held up well!
So, the question is...put it all back together as nature intended...?
Or keep it stripped out, and use as a Demon track day racer...?
..tough call for me, as Iv'e never had a body so good as this one...too good to prang?
any comments welcome...
Note : just put a poll on the main page to try and fix my dilemma - to Race, or not to race...?
