Im selling as is as i need to move it on fast but if the purchaser is local i can help out with the rest of the assy.
I have started to rewire the car and it is 75% complete, all it needs is wet rub and buff and assy to get it on the road.
Looking for 5k Firm! this is about 3k less than it owes me now.

Yeah Heath, you know how it is, you try to keep them but people keep buying them off you! But seriously im keen to hang on to it for now, i have a
1968cc for it and it should make for a nice ride, it will be low with painted 356 rims and whitewalls!
Paul
Good luck mate, I know how it is. Pitty you didn't get to actually drive this one.
Thinking of letting one of my 54's go myself.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Yeah i know but it's a $ thing, simple economics! I dont want to sell it but i need to raise some cash before the end of the month when the house is
completed. Unfortunately it has to be sacrificed for the greater need!
I'll certainly regret it i know.
Cheers
