Now that i have just about completed the "to do list" on the Scorp, i have decided to start my next restoration.
The only thing left on the Scorp is the autobox + chains replacement. Everything else has been done. And its all thanks to the many helpful folk on here!
Unbelieveable really. I dont know what i would have done without this site. I must admit i did panic at first and we asked ourselves what we had gotten ourselves into buying a car without any Haynes Manual at least.
But lots of free advice and cheap (+ free) spares winged thier way to my doorstep after a few posts on this wonderful website.
Many thanks to all.  Lots of pints owed 
My next project by the way is this 1974 beauty..........
   
Love is in the eye of the beholder 
I shall spend many an hour executing my MIG skills. Starting off with complete Heater Channel/Sill replacement.

Hmmmmm somewhere in my dark and sordid past I too had a 1967 1300 Beetle Great cars but not quite the same when you floor it
In fact it less than a year ago since I sold all my spare VW parts to make way for the Scorpio

Nice cars them, Dad had one years ago and loved it, got a picture of it being taken over by sheep somewhere in Wales 
Got a Morris Minor myself but Beetles are cracking motors!
All the best with it, how about some photos as it progresses?

agreed. Photos it is.
The first part of the project will be to fit a towbar to my scorp and then fetch the Beetle from Southport.
700mile round trip!
