Bad news about the Reliant
When my brother-in-law has started now the spadework for the restoration, especially the painting, he discovered, that the car once had a front crash and also the front frame is totally rotten. These damages were covered cobbled in a tricky way with glassfibre-mats.
He will do the repainting and he will keep the car (soon it will appear in a movie, chartered by his company http://www.kdk-filmservice.de/ ), and he want to keep in in roadworthy condition, but he dropped the idea of a full 100%-original restoration, because effort and costs would be inacceptable high.
He can drive it, as owns a red 07-plate for classic car collections, for which the vehicles, running on that number don't need a TÜV-inspection. Good for the Robin, as it has no chance at all, to pass it.
