drove it for the first time in 2 weeks as I darent before incase the cambelt/rollers/waterpump/all of them let go - even treated it to topping the petrol tank up to full in readiness for holiday as I had some Tesco vouchers

Found some rust:

And then this happened:

That's certainly one way to make the boot bigger last time I saw rot like that was on my last Mk 2 Granada

You were brave using plasma with the tank still in situ

You don't know the worst of it! Jag appear to have squirted the most reluctant-to-extinguish form of foam known to man all round the fuel tank.

I bet it's still smouldering somewhere under all that metal Fe₂O₃.

gave the old girl a good was and wax yesterday put 20 quid of fuel in hoovered the boot and back seats ............................. and then the hoover blew up SWMBO not happy but after stripping it down (2 hours later) fixed it so wimbo happy again

was going to treat the leather today and finish hoovering but its pissing it down here

Replaced centre sections on the elite. It had a irmscher double d back box on when I got it which looked ok but was slight cross eyed, so managed to level that out and keep it (was in good nick and cheaper than getting a back box as well). Mustn't be designed for the facelift though as the bumper cutout is too small. Still, looks good though.

Irmscher make special bumpers to fit their 2 exhaust styles
