Sorry guys have had no time to work on it . Going to sell it until I have more time to commit to a project. Passenger door is rust free an drivers door has been properly repaired, have a repaired deck lid for it just needs to be put on. Most body rust has been cut out and repaired. Engine starts and runs well. Front right wheel doesn't roll properly. Can still be driven around but the brake needs to be looked at on that corner. As you can see in the pics seats are good besides drivers one. Has a repairable bonnet. New fiberglass glove box to be fitted. Original steering wheel. New industrial 6v battery. Comes with side steps, etc. everything to finish it plus heaps of spares. Anyone interested shoot me a text or call on 0400758333 and make an offer.
