Great to have you here, it's an amazing, eclectic and cantankerous group.  
I've learned a ton here and since you have a BN1, do not hesitate to ask for 
 photos of another one for comparison. I have an early BN1 as well as 
others on  the list and although photos get ripped off mass replies, we can all 
send you  photos individually. Welcome and enjoy your car and the crazy folks 
who come  with it!

Thanks  to all of you for the shared wisdom.



I looked over the  car today and failed to find any rust,  other than at
sill  level,  just behind the driver's door.



All the  outriggers look good.  I have not yet pulled up the carpet,   so
who knows that the floor pans could reveal.



Bumpers need  to be re-chromed.  I am hoping to restore a weekend driver,   
do
not anticipate pulling off fenders.  The task of re-aligning fender  and 
door
panels seems daunting,  especially since my wife would  instantly quickly
bore of this tedium.



Since the body is  straight and almost rust-free,  I think I will leave that
task to the  next patron of LBC's.



I am a pretty good wrench and will be  good for all the grunt work involved.
Final paint,  interior and  machine shop stuff are beyond my capabilities.



Great  group.thanks for the  responses.  Been lurking for years.first  post.
