damm i am busy this weekend or i would have done that only a couple of days work !! or it is according to certain car restoration programs on tv

"This is needing full restoration"
No, it needs scrapping. Actually I think from the marks on the roof where its plainly been lifted, somebody probably DID scrap it about 25years ago......

Of course, there will be a few bits and pieces which can be salvaged but that's about all unfortunately. I expect over the years, many people have offered to buy it but the owner had always said "I'm going to fix it one day" or "It's worth more than that" and that is how it has got in such a state. What a shame

I knew of a Minor van locally which was owned from new by a farmer. When it had covered about 20,000miles the differential packed up. He refused to sell it despite decent offers and it simply rotted away in the long grass eventually.......

Poor thing! It should have been left snoozing where it was to end it's days in peace.

Actually chaps I think you will find you have misinterpreted the advert.
He is actually selling a rare barn he found................... and got the pictures mixed up.

no the add is write it was on gumtree as spoted it the other week and put it on facebook ,(just needs a little t cut )

I looked at the ad and thought, nah! Then I saw the tempting "IT IS ALSO TAX EXEMPT".

Might be worth a go !!! The wiper arms look ok !!!

It's got a steel body and cab

Where are all these barns coming from, eastern Europe?

Hidden in trucks and blaming everything on Nicola Sturgeon

This was a bit of a restoration:-

I do think that we are being hard on the seller of the pickup - if it comes with full documentation it can be returned to as new condition with a bit of work and it will be worth a lot more than the current asking price.
I have seen a lot of cars not just Minors in worse condition restored to useable and better condition.

Incidentally,is it some kind of celtic law that all Scots Nats leaders have to be named after a fish?

Maybe I need to get out more, because I can't say I've seen worse! Mind you if I took on something like that--I'd never find time to get out more!

Okay, here's something for those of you wanting something less challenging..................

To be honest if I had the room I would get it !!! but with having 7 cars at the moment of which 3 are projects it's a no go

-------but what would you do with it.

Someone will buy it

Well I bought a round nose mini and am going to have to replace virtually every panel on it !!
I bought an XJS V12 Jag and have had to change in reality the whole bottom 6 inch of the car ie floors sills chassis toe boards heel boards, boot floor !!! so on and so forth !!
So yes it's the kind of project i'd buy !!!!!!!

But: It is tax free! So someone should buy it!
