Description

Unfinished project, great opportunity for someone with the skills and time to obtain a really nice car for very little money. In a rare and great looking color combination of dark blue with red leather as opposed to the usual brown on beige or nasty mushy pea green. The car has had a lot of work done but still needs more I haven't got the time and need the space to get on with other things. Please get in touch to arrange a viewing there's no pressure to buy but I encourage people to take a look and assess for themselves if it's what they want. bellow is a quick list of pro's and con's plus a short list of work carried out and work that needs to be completed.

The car is currently not running and will need to be trailered away. To any have a go hero's, you can't come and see if you can get it to start and no the engine doesn't run, it turn's over but needs new fuel injectors or converting to carburetors.
