I am advertising it as in need of full restoration. It is a 30 year old car and has not been the road for over 15 years so you will need a trailer to take it away.
It is impossible for me to list everything needed as it is a project and needs some time and money spent on it, so please view and judge it for yourself.
Bodywork is pretty standard for a Gt Turbo project. It needs new sills although the rest of the floor seems good. There is a bit of rust under the passenger rear window and the front window wiper mount is rusted through, I bought a replacement scuttle for it (included) and the chap I bought it off said it was actually quite good compared to most 5’s that need a restoration but I am not Gt Turbo expert so it is what it is. I replaced the drivers side wing and have a replacement door for it (although it is roll pin type not bolt on type, there is a mod you can do though) The bonnet is also quite rusty.
I do have three centre caps for the original wheels
The interior is complete apart from the parcel shelf. Front seats need foam and fabric but the rear seats are ok

This 1974 Hillman Imp Super recently caught our eye on eBay thanks to its wonderfully honest appearance, original details and reported 34,000 miles from new. Finished in bright blue and […]
Classic car projects on eBay can be dangerously tempting sometimes. We started off looking for one interesting project this morning and somehow ended up staring at a brave Mk1 Fiesta, a brave BMW 635CSI restoration, a rare Mini Pickup and one of the maddest custom Beetles we’ve seen in years. Naturally, we now want ...
The Mk2 Ford Granada has quietly become one of those cars that stops people in their tracks at shows, fuel stations and auctions alike. Once a familiar sight on British roads, surviving examples are now getting thinner on the ground, especially usable V6 cars with the right stance and period feel. This particular 2.8-litre example [&...
