yeah Gibbo..it's one of those! Either love it or hate it type of car. I like them because they are very 70's and distinctive

Didnt plan on getting one, however it just showed up and I bought it on a whim. Sometimes when opportunity knocks you have to open the door!

Wont be able to do anything with it for quite a while, but unlike other cars it wont rust away waiting for some love, so I can live with that.

Good Find... I'm :puke... Want one of those... but it will be at the end of a long list of projects...🙁

I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....

didn't like the colour so much at first but it's grown on me..will keep if the gelcoat is in good enough nick.

Otherwise a dark metallic grey might be the go

defintely a 'one day' project,,the square takes priority as it's going and could probably get on the road in a couple of months or so!
