Thought that I would share some photos of what is likely to be a long (long) project
I get by with a little help from my friends

Welcome. Was this an ex racer or was it a part built racer by a previous owner?

Thanks guys. The chap that I bought it from used to own a BMW dealership and he and his friends had several. This one was apparently raced but I don't know more than that. Must confess that my initial plan was to rebuild the car for the circuit but I then did the maths and terrified myself

While I think about it, does anyone have plans for the wooden parts of the dash? The ends were cut off mine when the cage was installed and I need to recreate them

Mine had disintegrated so I rebuilt them using epoxy poured into an aluminium (!) mould which I manufactured and fixed to the existing wood. I did put as much of the old wood which had delaminated in the epoxy first for some strange nostagic reason. Once set I re-veneered all the wood. It needs to come out for a little fettling but the results were good.
Wow, Rek. I'd love to see that rig.
