Back in 2014 , I started a restoration on an 80 Sport, "B" reg , pre-facelift.
Needed a huge amount of welding and most repairs were done by someone "making up sections" from scratch as replacement panels are as rare as hens teeth I think you'll find. If all you need are the panels you mention, you are well on the way to a comparatively quick resto. Good luck with the job and look forward to pictures if/when you can post some up. |

I'm hoping not to get involved in painting the car as I'd like to keep it as original as poss, but we'll see . I'll start with a good power wash and get it running as it's sat for a few years see if it holds all it's fluids etc
It'll need all new brakes, flexys poss calipers good service , timing belts at a minimum I'd think, I'll give it a good going over see what's what! I was thinking of trying to source 90 bumpers and skirts make it a tad more youthful |

Please keep it stock, they were such a pretty car, particularly with the side graphics on the early cars. Check out tradition, they've got quite a few panels on there now although they aren't cheap! |

So a couple hours spent on the sport this avo and she's up n running, new timing belt, battery, rewire fuel pump, new fuel pump/ filter and fuel ! Had to clean most of the fuses but she started and settled down to a nice idle with excellent oil pressure ! If i get time tomorrow ill have a good prod around underneath but from what I've seen today she's needining a bit more welding than at first thought . Free time is going to be the issue here as I work away.
Thanks for the offer of the stripes, I'll keep it in mind 👍. |
