I got myself a 1990 110CSW 2 weeks ago. It had recently failed it's MOT and the garage who tested it quoted at £1400 to put it right. It belonged to one of my neighbours who came to see me as he was planning on breaking it, and thought I might know a few people who need parts. Instead I persuaded him to sell it me, and a few days later it arrived.
This is how it looked once it turned up
Starting to take the body off
I think it might want a new crossmember
Rear body off
New centre crossmember. Much heavier than the old one
Old rear crossmember off
New one fitted
Footwell repaired
Started the dreaded undersealing, and fitted new springs and shocks
Next I've got a new gearbox crossmember to fit, and the chassis to finish undersealing. Then it'll be time to start putting it back together. And repaint it too.
I'll update with more details as I get some more bits done.
