Poor car :(
« on: May 13, 2012, 06:32:55 PM »

Anyone willing to save it? Makes me sad because it looks exactly like my Bert when I first bought him :'( (although mine wasn't in as bad as condition as this)

Same colour as mine. The body shell do not look too bad. Definitely saveable. The interior is in v.g condition. Unfortunately, I already have three one of which is being restored.

The car has no MoT history!

Perhaps this is marginally better. Also no MoT/service history.

the red car looks okay enough from the pics the rear panel and tailgate can be fixed or replaced and if you insure full comp you will get a windscreen for £70 notes.

 I went to have a look at that red bis the other day as we were in the area. The floors looked pretty solid, but it`ll need a bit of welding at the front to the spare wheel well. Also had rust in some weird places, like above one of the rear lights was very crusty and than the standard places round the screen etc.
 Still not too bad if it goes cheap and if you willing to put some effort into it. I just don`t want any more projects.

its worth a couple of hundred just for the parts and like you say if you like digging out tin worm then it could be your cup of tea.

Ladislav,
Apart from the spare wheel well and the rust above the rear tail light, I noticed some rust below the front broken windscreen in the pictures. Was the rust bad? Was there other rust elsewhere? Where the sills solid? Did you check the condition of the interior? The seats were covered. I sent an email to the seller but had no response.

 To be honest I haven`t looked at it properly, as I`ve done my back in, so it was all kind of touchy feely ;D
 It`ll need a fair amount of work and it`s not a weekend project!
 The interior did look tidy enough.
 I only went to have a look at it, as I had an idea with my 903cc engine and thought it might be a contender, but it needs too much bodywork for what I wanted.

Many thanks. I might view it on Saturday, time permitting.
