Looks like a great project car, whats it like underneath? What sort of mods are you planning? i notice your in atherstone not too far from where im located in burton on trent, so if your short of any bits for it give me a shout, I have broke a couple of minors a few years back for parts for my own 4 door project so I have a lot of spares.

What extra rot did you find that made you decide that you couldn't repair it? Why not try and find someone who can restore it, instead of breaking it up for parts?

Tbh josh the inner wings look good, it needs new floor but thats not a HUGE job. What else does it need?

don't break it! if you don't fancy the work involved, why not sell it on? the work there looks about the norm for most minors that need restoration.
