This time a classic..
Been looking for a few years now, not had a classic in maybe 10-12 years and genuinely miss owning and driving as a daily..
I didn't want another project as in a full resto but accepted unless I paid big bucks it was going to need work, looked at a few before this one and every single one of them needed EVERYTHING, or had many patches on patches on patches....
This one has it's problems for sure but somewhere in it's history it's had money thrown at it, which is nice. Needs inner wings and drivers floor, small hole just above exhaust on the rear cross member and also some scabbing on the crossmember just by the fuel tank which will need sorting. The engine was running on 6 cylinders at best when I collected it, in fact, it was so rough it wouldn't drive it's self on to the trailer in low!! Quick fiddle under the bonnet and she's purring like a kitten with a sore throughout..... she'll need a service . The last owner had just fitted new shocks and springs, the new inner wings and floor was part of the sale plus there's a full service kit and full pack of replacement mounts..
Not done inner wings before so expect questions in the coming months
