Well after look years for one for my dad (he had one back in 1979, brand new) i managed to find a good scrapper locally to restore!
managed to get it for £395
engine runs fine (needs a battery and fuel pump cleaning) runs and sounds a treat though!
come with pretty much full interior (all needs cleaning and putting back together) all original bumpers etc
plans for it! strip it, weld places that need welding, clean it all up inside, start putting the interior back together, then to the engine bay! clean that up, get bits that are needed, then finally it will be having a spray paint back to its orginal colour (silver)
its a project for the next couple of years as moneys tight! cant wait for the end product and only had it a few days!
once done its going to be used as a 'summer car' will show it at classic events etc!
anyway 1st pics after it was delievered
