It looks like it has been made into a caravan. The back wheel is closer to the front, and the front wheel opening is covered over. Not a barn door
sorry to say.

Ok thanks guys, yeah i thought the back arch was far too close to the front of the car, it definately looks like its been modified but thats the dun
of restorations i guess!
how hard is it to source new panels and front beams for splittys? Im used to baywindows and thinking about doing a resto on this,
Cheers for the help

I'd leave it as a caravan, it's too cool not to!

It'll cost an absolute fortune to convert this back into a road going vehicle. Best option is to 'restore' it into an awesome camper trailer.
It's pretty rough and needs heaps of work. Start at $500 and see how you go.
Worst case ,you could cut it up and sell as repair panels for other enthusiasts and probably turn a profit.
