Maybe a better base car for replica builders....?  :) Fewer upset people...?

Kev, you're kidding? Don't you think that this car isn't a bit tooooooo rusty? I don't think there's any floor pan left :-\ And what happened to the roof ???

No - not kidding Mike - If it's lived its life in a dry climate it could be solid underneath all that nice brown stuff - It could be largely sun damage to the paint with surface rust from rain....On the other hand... those cobwebs may resemble the floor pan... :)

What is that extra hot water pipe runnign across the engine bay?
Ive never seen that before!
What is that thing it plumbs into?
Steve

It's warm water supply for LPG system. The thing front left is the converter. There's probably a 70/80 liters LPG tank in the trunk.

Well, if there's still a floor pan then it will probably make a good replica. But by the looks of this one it is put away for quite a few years. Time did the rest....

I agree with Kev it could and looks to be surface rust on all the outside panels/roof there seems to be no holes on the panels.
Obviously the floor sills inner wings etc which we cant see could be a mess but it looks to be not too bad on the outside

Good project for someone :)

Anyway, exept from the chassis there's probably not much worth saving. Interior is totally shot, engine probably won't turn anymore, and bodywork is gone. Bumpers and arches look ok.
Rims perhaps and who knows, some parts from the underside. If the chassis is still ok then it's a good project. But how about that price?

I am not sure it is soooo bad. Looks like it was standing for ages. Original waterhoseclips are still on. But it needs a huge lot of work.

Nice find!

Happy selling with that price... I think we will see it advertised there 'till rust do us part' :D :D :D
