Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 10:25 pmDon't worry, bought this one with my eyes open. Having done several chassis restorations now, it made perfect sense to me to buy a car with a rotten chassis but mint body & interior.
Projects, including Chris' Vauxhall powered right hander but ignoring customer jobs, there're 5 cars currently in progress, one still in transit from the US.

Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 11:25 pmOh it won't be getting a new frame 
The rest of the car is far too good to part out. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find better on an original car. The body, fascias and interior haven't a mark on them (except a bit of mildew!). Panel fit is superb, even the wheels aren't flakey.

Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 11:45 pmGet it stripped like the last one, then Chris will be let loose on it with his welding talents... although he's refusing to make me a new frame extension 
I'm sure it's not all as bad as it looks
