Mk1 Beavertail Recovery

I have alot more pics but thought I'd let everyone see these ones first

Need to pick someones brain about amount of welding on chassis and passing PSV test

I've had the two of them for about 18months but only really getting time to work on them now.

Problem is the red one is rusting away (goes without saying) and I have no where to dry store her

Why do you want it to have a PSV test? Did you mean MOT, or does PSV not mean Public Service Vehicle in Ireland?

I asked in another thread and never got a reply.

PSV means the same here as over there, I just got it wrong

Nice one, the other method is to put drums under it, let down the tyres till it sits on them and drive from under it.

Since the last post on here there has been next to no development due to extream work comitments :( but any how on with the project and blow off the cobwebs or maybe prune back the weeds

Will be starting with all the mechanical parts of the resto because A: I understand them better and B: I can work on them in the garden shed when I get back from work!

Will post pic soon

Yet another update on the progress of these two Mk1

Not a spanner lifted since last post (Just wanted to keep you all up to date)

On a more serious note As i have no time and need the space for a new office these two have got to go

If there is anyone or someone who knows anyone that would take one or both of these on then please let me know ASAP

I'd prefer for them to go as a project but willing to strip for parts.

I'll get them into the correct section shortly and post a link here.

What a shame they have got to go
