I had the baby sister of your car, Got it as a "Barn find" and had to strip it right down, Chassis blasted and painted, Bottom 1/4 of tub and alot of the floor was replaced due to maximum rust. Mine was a mixture of Mk2 and Mk3 parts, it was never going to be worth a full restoration so I did all the work myself. I made up a rotissere for the tub so I could roll it and work at a sensible height, fabricated new sills and lower portions of the door skins. I painted it in my garage and was quite happy with the result. Then I drove the wheels off it for 3 years as a daily driver and finally sold it for a tidy profit. I loved the simplicity of the car but HATED the diff which wined and broke. I ended up fitting a GT6 dif which was alot better. Broke a few speedo cables and ended up re-routing the cable to try to minimise bends. Mine came on spoked wheels but they couldn't stand the treadment given out at grass-khana's, so I fitted wider Dunlop rims. I was originally looking for a GT6 or Vitesse but ended up being very happy with my trumpy. Very cheep on gass but lacking in power. (somthing yours shouldn't be) Yours looks neat in Bright White, these's not alot of spitfires or GT6's painted white but I think it suits them. Have fun and look after it as they're well worth saving for the future. Cheers

Love it! I did a refurbishment on a 65 spitfire and used it as a daily driver for 3 years in Hamilton - Roof should only be up in pouring rain (carry a brolly for stopping at the lights) Have fun with the rebuild then drive the wheels off it - that's what they were made for.
