This is a sad sight
We it is for me anyhow, I sold this car 9 years ago after building it and owning it for 14 years. I havent seen it since, until it turns up on Ebay,
looking very sad.

The first turbo car I ever went in.
The front shot looks OK if it was hit with a buffer, but the rear and the description means its a sad sad girl.

I'd buy it if I was in the market. Would an easy freshen up..... little rust work, a little cut and polish, a top end rebuild..... sweet as.
I can understand how it would be painful for Dave to see though......

yes a sad feeling seeing a car you once owned - or built - end up as a POS due to lack of attention. Happened to my brother: a stout 1961 model
featured in magazines turned into a POS that couldn't be give away in just a few years...

I saw it on Ebay. Thought it might be a good one for the boy.
Actually, I am always seeing cars that I think I might buy the boy. But my wife keeps reminding me that the boy is only seven!
