I bought my Sunbeam before few months.
Car is in pretty good shape. Previous owner bought it before 4 years from first owner and put it under plastic tarpaulin, and all rust ocured because of that. He gave up from the project and I bought car from him. Rust on car is only on surface and there is only few worse spots.
My plan is to restore car and keep it close to original. Maybe few changes but I don't want to do anything that I can't restore to original state.
I can't drive it yet because cluctch plate is stucked but I will fix this soon. I am waiting for summer vacation to start some more serious work on car.

Here are some pics :

I didn't post anything for some time so here is update on project.
Younger brother helped me with disassembly and uncle with bodywork.
There was few rusted places on the floor, front fenders and doorsteps but it is all fixed.
Car is protected from below and its completely repainted.
Color is darker but I think it looks better than original.

Thanks Nikolai your cars looks great too

Lookas - Color is similar as on Tiger. I like this color more than original Sunflower Yellow.

I wasn't here for some time. I was just driving

I still have my avenger. Nothing special changed with yellow one.
Car works great, it needs good polish and that's it.

Avenger virus caught me pretty good. I was piling up parts wherever I find the, I scraped one MK2 for parts.
And I managed to buy one more project - 1975 MK1 1300 2DR from first owner.
Car is crashed but it can be saved, I will open new thread when I start to work on it.
