benny Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 went and saw this tonight... its pretty far gone in my opinion for parts only. PM me for details before you go to see if any of you guys are planning on it Quote
d3c0y Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Probably worth putting in a photo of the rear quarter it seems to be missing? Quote
benny Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 decoy the rear quarter is the least of the worries... as I've said if anyone ones in-depth details PM me Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 27, 2013 Administrators Posted January 27, 2013 It does look pretty terminal but I've seen worse restored. At least it's pretty original which is a good start. Quote
Retro Z Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 So its a Sushi car? If so may be interested. Benny i'll PM you on facebook Quote
fluegel Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I would like to know more about the rust areas eg rear lower quarters ,sills ,floor, doors, around windscreen ,back hatch ,rear end behind bumper etc. It would seem a pity to sell the car for parts when the body may be repairable. My car was pretty bad with rust before I welded it up. Richard Quote

LH Gaurd- Repairable with small rusted section on top. RH Gaurd- Reasonable Bonnet-Heavily rusted and nose is bent downwards Scuttle Panel- Heavily Rusted Section below Scuttle- Heavily Rusted Section below Windscreen- Can poke your finger through the whole way along and touch the dash. Both Door Skins- heavily Rusted... new skins atleast Both Doglegs- Totally Gone LH Rear quarter- Completely gone around pillar and the same where quarter meets taillight RH Rear Quarter- Not to bad besides the gaping hole around fuel filler and rusted again around taillight Hatch- Hatch is recoverable Roof- Looks reasonable on the outside but when looking up the hole on the LH pillar the rust carries up through into the roof. It would need to be completely disassembled with roof and rear quarters removed to repair... its certainly not a car to do a patch job on. Ben Quote
