stradacab Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Looks half tidy, seems a shame to break it, how much for the whole thing if you can source another nose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta3000 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 hi basically bought it for f/end,it is as good as new,other than getting new panels this is the best for me,since blasting my coupe there are parts this car will donate, what im going to do is def take off f/end,if then i can get other bits then ill maybe put car up as project i know it looks good,not been underneath yet,other peoples car may benefit from me breaking this? colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffy1984 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi Colin, I could be interested in the whole car (if cheap enough) depending on what condition the chassis is. I have piles of spares including decent wings and a complete good front end so could do some kind of deal? Just an idea but see what you think. Been looking for a decent hatch shell in Scotland for ages now... Cheers Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith1200 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hey Colin Completely understandable m8. I pm'ed you before seeing your last post. The thing is: if the front is removed via the spot welds? It's still a saveable motor. The front I have needs cleaned up, so it's no good for you. Such an ideally project car too! Cheers, Keith PS what enegine are you putting in it? four cylinder CIH or redtop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
