        save for sure!

        apart from the hanging panels, it looks super tidy!

        I'd love to buy it and restore it myself, but I've got no where to store it till I'd have time/space to fix it! (Too many other projects atm)

        Glad your decided to save it.

        Hopefully the front floors and the lower A pillar/sill area is ok rust wise, cause it does looks pretty tidy!

              I have a spare rust free LHS A pillar if you want to buy it off me for cheaps.

                Thanks Lofty, I'll remove the guards tomorrow and do a proper inspection of the floors. If all is good I might take you up on the a pillar.

                      Removed 95% of the rust using a 6mm hex key. If only I had a red hatch the resto would be complete.
