Welcome to the site!

Great pics, is the slam panel missing from the first one? did it sustain much damage? Great restoration project though!

Superb job as said earlier nice to see one saved as against broken.

Car was bought as u see in the 1st pic. Complete front end removed. No wings, bonnet, bumper. Quite annoying. Rocker cover, gearknob and ECU were stolen also while in the hands of either:

A. Insurance company yard.
B. 3rd party Assessors.
C. Salvage Yard prior to auction
D. At Auction.

I know the breakers yard who bought it from auction and they didnt take the parts...

Only major problem now is I can get it to turn over but only an intermittent spark. Assuming its immob problems but cant be sure atm.

Thanks everyone!

can i be so cheeky to ask how much you paid for it in that condition, knowing you would have to spend a few grand.

Yes you can mate... lol
