Thanks Gary, that was the conclusion I'd come to.
Plan now is to drop the engine, and suspension, make a body spit and get serious.
I think I have myself a project !

You can buy my body if you like Tim, just drop the engine in and go.

Are you plannning to put it back to pre fat bumper livery?

I want to get it solid to start with, worry about the "look" of the car later. After all, I don't want it to turn into a project, do I

Tim
Does it help you to know that my car was like that before the previous owner had it repaired? I have scarey photos to prove it

You can rebuild! Good luck

Tim,

Sorry to hear this bad news. Glad you seem to be keeping your spirits up. Hope the project goes well and your back on the road for summer.

Cheers

I was looking for some posts to wield my moderators axe into (quite hard in the 911 section: I just end up thinking keep, yes keep, oh that's good: keep ....

).

Anyway, thought I'd bump this back up into safety as hopefully there'll be some news on this soon
