hell yes... not going to be very original though is it?

Nothing a new bodyshell won't fix

they'll give up and it'll appear 5 years later on ebay as a "barn find", or whatever the latest terminology is for an abandoned restoration project

Oh yes...... Weldathon springs to mind

It is marvelous that you can 'rebuild' a whole splitty with aftermarket panels and lord knows what else, but I have to make gearshift bushes for my 89LT and do not even think about things like floorpans and the rubber bits which cover said gearshift bushes

Would not have one anyway....too small

Ah, that's worth it as its slammed and has the rat look.

Mines covered up at the mo to stop it getting rustier, I think it'll be worth more if the weather gets to it

I just don't get it

 

[mike os]

it's ********... needs loads of bodywork & repaint at least, & £ 26k is rebuilt price, not in this condition

saw one a year or so back on ebay that was being used as a chicken coup, floors were rotted out and looked like it would fold in half if anyone tryed to move it. seem to remember it going for about 3k

there was also a program a few years ago on discovery about a guy restoring one, he had it acid dipped and when it came out it looked like swiss cheese. Scary thing is pre-dipped it had an mot
