This Mk1 shell had benefited from being wayolyed from new, which has allowed no welding required what so ever underneath, but during the refurbishment I have installed the following items. New fuel system including tank, fuel pump, accumulator and lines, including custom made items for the accumulator since these are no longer available. New brake pipes throughout. Complete underside rust protected and waxoyled again.
