All,
Having spoke to Mr Mad (And thanks as always), I have taken on another GSI Carlton to restore/upgrade to its former glory.
Parts required at this time are:
Auto - Manual conversion
Manual Cable gearbox
Clutch Pedal fixings and cable
Dual Mass Flywheel, clutch, diaframe and bearing.
front end of the propshaft if not the whole thing!
Brakes
Later front GSI calipers and discs
Body
Seal for both sides.
I will add to the list as we look further into the project.
If anyone has the above and would like to part with them, please PM me or Mr Mad.

Oh.
I thought Murph was having that too.
I did ask him to give me a shout if he didn't want it for himself.

The main thing is that it has been saved.

I was out of the country for a few days and as Chris couldnt get me on the phone it was assumed that I was passing it up.
As said though, the main thing is that it's going to be saved, and Mr 24vman has more resources than I to do it properly.
I didnt find out myself that I didnt secure it til thursday when I got back.
