Was running and in relatively good nick with 76K on the clock until the wife caught some air into a fence and onto a large rock. It rolled off and drove home but then stood for 3 years. Got it into the garage last year and have completely stripped it down ready for a full on resto which had begun very recently but plans have now changed and I need it gone by June, maybe earlier. Rather than sell it off piece by piece (for which I ought to get in the region of £500 for) I would much rather see it go as a whole to someone who is keen to get it back on the road. I realise projects aren't going to be worth the sum of the bits but would like an idea - any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I've put a few photos below but obviously I could post up hundreds of the various components.

 

Done so far: Cleaned up and primed front sub frame. Cleaned up and painted some of the front suspension components, lower arms, a hub etc. Most of the rot cut off the rear sub frame, was going to weld up and dip in the next couple of weeks but hey ho. Rest is dismantled. 

 

Has a nice walnut dash, half leather seats. I've got a very old fibre glass front end to go with it, that'll need work. Doors in good nick as is the boot lid. All glass good. 5 minilites, 4 with pretty much new yokos on (<250 miles), the spare good tread budget.

 

Bad points - clutch seized whilst stood and i bent the pedal trying to push it out. Shell is pretty rusty both sills, it had been welded in the drivers footwell poorly in the past and that'll need coming off, the passenger footwell is a bit better but the pillar that holds the door hinges is poor at the bottom. Scuttle will need replacing and the rear panel where it meets the boot floor needs doing also, photos should show this. Bonnet damaged and front panels, grill, moustache etc not good.

 

Thanks in advance, Andy.
