Just to add i had no idea of its rarity when i first bought. Oddly i bought it from a guy who sold advertising in the 'yellow pages', hence the colour ! He was the original owner. im the second owner

X881FPP is still in my possession. Owned it since 2007, was on 85k now on 140k. On the second engine. All original apart from eibach road springs. One day i will get around to it. Needs sills plating. I even have a box full of centre caps. I paid 2k for it in 2007 and ran it for 4 years...

why do it to yourself. no benefit whatsoever

What was the resolution ? New sill panel ?

Yes they come away very easily, drill the rivets off. full of crap behind them. I expected mine to be much worse and around the filler cap it is perfect.

Are full sill repair panels available to buy ?

Repairable?

I found this

I have a phase 1 sunflower that I have owned for 10 years. Has been off road for 4 years. Stripping off all bodywork to see how we look. Where do these things rust ? I heard they can be prone to age in some areas.

Mine separated and threw the cambelt ! They do fail

The sunflower before i covered it up for the winter. Does anybody have some wheels to stand it on while i get the originals restored ?

Get at it with an angle grinder and cut around the heads. New discs

I'm looking for temporary wheels while it sits idle and I get the F1 fixed up. I have a ton of wheel centers already. Have been collecting them lol

Here it is

The sunflower hasnt been on the road for 4 years now. Kept in back garden. Still starts on the button and looks really good despite its age and 140k miles. What should i do to protect it further ? Isnt even kept under cover. Can somebody recommend steps to protect it ?

secondhand engine, fit water pump, belt kit and clutch and throw it in

unfortunately it looks like the tree sap has made the roof and bonnet very flat. i did clay it but it looks deeper than that. could it be machine polished out ?

Before and after.....can you tell which is which ?

if it comes to that i will put another motor in it. its an easy enough job. it has been out twice already and then fitted a new motor when the earlier went south

i wont be doing any mechanicals on it..im not going to drive it. i want to restore it back to how it was when on the road. it has big sentimental value for me. will never be sold.
