This is the (to the
UK !) off-side corner of the
boot aperture showing the corrosion that's penetrated
the metal. |
The lower edge of the boot lid - note the
corrosion along the full length creeping upwards!
The upper surfaces are in a similar state |
|
|
The offside rear of the engine bay - note the bad
corrosion along the joint of the bulkhead and the
cowl panel. |
The chassis identification plate.
Definitive proof that the car is indeed a Sport,
one of only 7 in the UK. |
|
|
The dashboard, c/w wood rimmed steering wheel and
a gaping hole where the clock used to be.
(Got one since from the E.M.S. Splash 'n Spares weekend) |
The triple carb. Sport engine. For those who are
not familiar the black container on the N/S inner front wing is the oil
container for the D.I. oiling system |
|
|
The interior of the Sport. This highlights 2 points
- the good condition of the headliner and the inability of the digital
camera to cope with complex lighting scenarios! |
The bull-nose front bonnet. The rear edge is punched
for the heat extraction louvres (since found under the rear seats) |
|
|
Corrosion along the lower edge of the centre panel and
upwards. |
The N/S inner wing looking straight down - look at the
holes to the rear of the radiator bulkhead from corrosion. |
|
|
The near side front wheel arch - there is a gap all around
the area where the arch meets the floor panel. |
Again highlighting the cameras inability to cope with
extremes, there is a gaping hole around the base of the inner wing. |
|
|
Surface corrosion all over the off-side centre panel
and rear wing |
The passenger door showing the generalized surface corrosion
typical of the whole vehicle. |
|
|
Offside floor panel showing similar gaps to that on the
near side |
The lower edge of the drivers door showing the severe
corrosion there. |
|
|
Damage to the roof panel - looks like it had a roof rack
fitted at some time that has dented the roof panel. There is penetration
damage just to the right of the corrosion. |
Last but not least - this is about half of what came
out of the Sports boot! Includes a brand new dynamo core, steering
wheel boss, boot handle and brake discs. |
