Blimey Rip. Poor thing. I suppose engine and gearbox are worth saving and the glass.

 :$ Just as I said ' it looks like a good solid car'  :$

I certainly wish you luck, How will you tackle the rust problem around the windows?

Quite glad someone bought it with a view to put the back on the road. If I had the skill, I would have bought it as well. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!
