erm its a mini and needs welding .

Second one looks like a mini too, judging by the subframe and bottom of the gearbox. I'm sure someone could save it!

Its so easy to over restore - try not to loose the patina.

Joking aside, on the first pic the roof gutter looks like it may have the extra drain channel of an early car - maybe mid-late 60's/early 70's.

Second pic, my guess is late 70's/early 80's mini - drum brakes and silver gearbox.

It's a pile of iron oxide which resembles what it use to be....

Looks to have a good solid windscreen though!

try starting the engine

Am I missing something? Is the second pic not the engine and subframe to the first pic? I would say there is no engine in that first one given the amount of stuff growing through the engine bay. And in the second - there is clearly no car attached to the engine and subframe - just a metal panel.

I think you have one vehicle there. But that is going to take some serious work to get it out of there! If you have any kids of working age - get them to do it
