Definitely a bargain - but you'll be needing that MIG! A sports-saloon too, which is a nice looking car, and on wire wheels.

Good compared to what mine looked like 10 years ago - good job Mike Evans had some decent new sills/running boards and Mike Couldry quite a few other bits.
I have still to sort the doors out and mine being prewar (16) have timber frames.
I have other problems with it for now though which I hope to report on very soon

It is a for sure a bargain
With a lot of time you will fix it and the MIG will be used a lot.
I know what you think. Mine was in a better state and I had to think If I should do it. And I did still under construction but hopefully end 2013 on the road.
If you have some spare part over, please let me know
