126 de ville
« on: September 04, 2006, 01:39:40 PM »
Well, I think the end has come for my de ville. It has no suspension, and shot sills, sunroof opening and a rear wing. Its just proving too uneconomical to put right.  I'm going to try and salvage as much as I can off it so if anyone wants anything then let me know. The engine and gearbox will be staying here for my next car unless anyone can convince me they will be restoring the whole car.

If anyone wants any of it let me know - free to a good home - collect or pay P&P.

If anyone wants the complete shell then its still in one piece at the moment and will roll. The floor pan seems sound. You'd have to collect.

Please PM me asap as I need the space quite soon.

Final call for my little yellow de ville...

I have an engine for it now, but it needs a gearbox or the one it has rebuilding. All gears okay but very noisy.

Main problems as I said are:

rotten sills, rear wing, roof (behind sunroof).
broken swing arm
sheared brake pipes
king pins
front spring has sagged badly
inside is scruffy
window trims and seals are shot
door handles have been screw-drivered
rot on doors and drivers door has a big dent

A takers? or anyone want any parts - all free - will break this weekend if its not going as a job lot. The engine and box can go with the car, but I'll keep them for next one if the car is going in bits.

Really sad to see it  go, but have been trying to sort for two years and bits are falling off faster than I can afford to put them on.
