Perhaps my plan is odd... but I am going to strip both wrecks of all parts and take them to the workshop where I will rebuild and store (my Dad is going to cherry pick which assemblies he wants to do and take them back to Birmingham). As the Chassis are quite bad I plan to get some drawings knocked up and have new main rails folded locally, I'll use the bespoke Ford X-members and bespoke Loyd fabricated rear end. Trying to straighten those originals looks virtually impossible, and the rear RHS 1/4 looks to be destroyed by shell fire, there is no rail left at all
