Waxoyl the underside and arches.
Going to make a start of removing the air con as well.

good to see car events and cruises getting in on the act of raising money for charity. never know, the bad name and reputation they have may start to get better

teddy, order a new engine mount before you remove air con, also make sure its de-gassed. you cant remove it till you have a new engine mount as everything bolts to that.... can give you a proper talk thru it if you like on sunday..... over beer

I would just take the engine out and put it on a go kart, put Corsa wing mirrors on it and be done with it.
