Hi,

I was offered/saved this '68 MK2 Deluxe estate last year.

It had been in a barn for over 20 years and would have been scrapped with house clearance/sale.

Luckily my Missus knows the daughter of the deceased owner......so much moving of junk, renting of beavertail truck and paying of money!

 

It's a pre crossflow 1300, everything present as far as I know.

 

Engine was seized, now freed off, but head is cracked between 2 & 3, and the rocker shaft is worn.

That's the start ^^^^^^^^ of the parts list.............

 

Short term plan is to try and get it running and MOT'd, and keep it original as possible.

Long term, full resto I guess, though I might need to sell a kidney, or both!

 

Tony.

The mechanics are relatively easy to sort, what is the body like for rust?

 

Welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

 

Body not too bad I don't think, underneath a little worse. Ideally I'd like to flip it over, have been looking at those body rollers.
