The last few weeks have been quite busy as I have been able to spend more time here, and so I have continued to strip the front of the car and investigate the electrics and other mechanical components.
So, far I have concluded the electrics are beyond repair and clearly a fire hazard!
The gearbox is out, and has either emulsified or no oil inside.
There is a serious problem with the chassis where the steering box mounts. I gather this is a common fault. Brace sections have been found and ordered thanks to David!
I have not yet plucked up the courage to attack the damage to the chassis, so instead I turned my attention to stripping the engine.
It hasn't really cheered me up though!
