Well I don't have a 9/16 prop tool nor a 52mm hub socket but tool station do so can sort that. The rest I have!

what does a days labour/garage time cost roughly in your experience?

A pop rivet gun has been used I think but doesn't look like a pro has been anywhere near this! I've seen the price of new bulkheads and that makes sense. No idea how much labour costs or how long it would take to strip down but have a call out with a garage to find out.

I've driven it a few times but it's not great at accelerating, turning or stopping so not a great combo right now. It doesn't need an MOT but it does need to be safe and will get that sorted once the chassis and bulkhead have been addressed.

Thanks for the feedback so far. This diesel 88 is the loudest thing ever so good to hear this is common. If I could get it over 40 mph I'll be shocked! I've attached the exterior to this post as to not overload and will attach the gnarly photos on the next post. This gives you a feel for the...

Hello, I wanted to own a series 3 the same age as me (1974) so have been looking for at least 18 months. I didn't want a barn find but wanted something that runs and can be restored. The year seemed to rarely come to the market and whilst I wanted a petrol I saw a diesel one the other day and...
