95% complete car
starts, runs and stops
Very Ratty roofrack

Make this your next project...!
full resto or not much left to do to finish as a rat!

The 1600TP came from a car that was a daily driven car till rego ran out
I drove it a few times and had no dramas with it.

Body and Panels all pretty reasonable and straight. Some rust in jacking points, bottom of door hinges, behind pedal cluster otherwise generally shes in very restorable condition.
Floor pan very good condition has been sound deadened in schwarz...

The bug is missing a few little bits and pieces, rear bulb holders, couple of switches on dash, carpet, hood lining, horn button, speedo cable, semaphore lenses.... otherwise comes with two sets of door cards correct 50's and a second 60's set, full set of seats will need retrimming, some spare semaphore bits... has a full set of glass including chrome strips but will need rubbers.
Doors need assembling i.e window regs, rubbers etc some parts included... Lights need to be wired...

ratfink antenna topper and number plates not included in sale...
