That said, the price of old bangers has gone silly. The only stuff around in the ?200 mark has blown engines, for something ratty with an MOT you're looking at ?300 - ?400!! It wasn't long ago you could pick up something with a few months MOT for ?100 or so. I got a Volvo 360 with 6 months MOT for ?50 a few years ago.
Bought the local free ads paper today, first time in ages. The "cars under ?500" section used to be huge. There were about 10 cars in there today, and they're all "head gasket" jobs.

Apart from the back panel and the roof the shell seems pretty good. Its full of water so the floor must be pretty good! I have seen a lot worse.

I have some injector pipes, I might run a seperate fuel pump and jerry can to it and see if I can get it going. I wouldn't trust whats in the original tank although the filler neck isn't rotten. Don't think I trust that universal filler cap.
Should I restore it? :dontknow:

Are you in a position to save it ??
It'll look a lot better when its dried out/sweeped etc.
Video if you get it running please !

If I had that, it would be full of cars I would never get around to restoring

Nice save though, how about making it an a3 quattro based 4wd monster, that looks fairly standard on the outside? :dontknow:
