Progress Report - Ebay Sales:
First of all, thanks to donnysoutherner & tritone for their Ebay guidance.
This is all new to me, but my first batch of donor parts are now finally for sale.
Plan A was to start with lots of small items to help build my feedback up.
However, my sixth sense went for Plan B, selling most of the big stuff first.
I blame subliminal "Get those bloody car parts out of the house now!" messages.
But sometimes it does pay to remember who is really in charge at home!
As part of keeping a record of this build, I'll list all my sales when complete.
Project Timing:
In terms of workload, I spent a few minutes removing the last mounting brackets.
( These will be sold with the front grill and rear bumper )
Then it was a few hours cleaning and taking photos for ebay.
My youngest daughter (10) has been very keen to help out.
Then I spent a few more hours getting everything set up on ebay.
I'm sure it gets quicker when you know what you are doing.
Next Steps:
Keep on top of this first batch of Ebay sales until they are all sold & collected.
I'm going to ask my usual garage to give whats left of my donor a professional once over.
I'd trust them to give the rolling chassis an MOT level inspection & identify any problems.
If everything is in order, I can start the final 'destruction' job of removing the body shell.
I'll also ask them to tune the engine to meet an MOT emission test while they are at it.
Until next time, take care, Paul.

Thanks chaps, I really hope this proves to be the best approach for me now.
But when I have a garage to play in, I do want to learn the "joys" of welding / repairs.
Gary - Cheers, my basic plan is to simply keep moving forward one step at a time.
