off for another view tommorrow after work. going to get some air in the tyres, put some cooling in her and fire her up to see what she sounds like. and maybe even give her a quick test drive to rattle some rust off!

WELL! 
spent acouple hours going over it today.
emmmmm.
brake pipes rusty, shock bushes gone, drive shafts and steering boots gone engine mount not doing much.
postive the engine runs as sweet as a nut. brakes 'work' and it drives although i wouldnt go on the road with it lol. all electrics work and its got a good ish insides.
this issues are the rust and lots of it, needs the sills sorting and the drivers wing/ front end is very bad. still not sure if im going to have it or not.
will keep on thining.
What alloys are theses called? i cant rememmber?
10s on the rear but steel 12s on the front lol, but he does have a set of four 10inch alloy wheelsin total.
all original insides.
i have a new chrome grill and front and rear bumbers to fit if needed lol but thats the least of things it neededs

Gawd!!!
Thats not a quick fix car!!!
I'd be paying £50 as a breaker, wheels/brakes/interior are saleable.
(not a huge amount else!!)

poor looking thing! it needs a home (and a reshell haha)
see if they would take 100 for it and use the vitals, maybe the auto engine will be worth something in a few years?
