The V8 looks great!
Sitting for about 4 years, who knows?




Dont know what to do?????????????????????????


 
did someone already call him a bastid?



seriously mate good luck :)

start by taking it to bits slowly, then fettle stuff and put it back together ;)
 
Can you afford to get a new chassis and bulkhead shipped in? or pay a local fabrication company to cut the rot out and weld in new metal?

Then have it as a slow project.
 
well its made us feel better about it being free. get a few good bits of and engine out and maybe you could use it as a new center peice for the lawn? Or you could make a awesome water feature out of it.
 
I have a cousin that wants it.
He has an uncle that's a really good welder and mechanic that wants to help him with a project.
I am hoping that he will take it.

I almost called the wrecker to send it to the dump, it really is a mess. Sad.

A chassis would cost a fortune to ship in, I may do it for my Pumkn in the far far future but this 90 is a wreck.

My cousin uncle is coming to have a look at it today. I really hope they will take it and give it a try.
 
don't know about where you live, but full restored go for 40k plus in US. So free and if you got to put 10-15k into it is money well ahead of the game, and there has to be some Yanks there that would buy a mint/fully restored series. I see it as a money maker

I have to agree with Thor. Thats a money maker there if its the right age. What year is it?

Can you skirt the 25yr rule for import into the us from the Bahamas? Is the Bahamas colonial?

If so then its already worth $$$$$ is it not as its local to the US and it is registered.

I would do some research before you bin it mate.

Only a few pics of the chassis, but it looks very repairable to me. Bulkhead would be a longer resto, maybe you could get one from Uk? They are available here.
