Will need full drivers side outer sill and rear arch panel plus welding to inner arch. Inner sill one patch about four inch's long.

Passenger side small patch on outer sill near the rear, part rear arch outer panel, front jacking point has collapsed.

The good, inside boot and rear valence are very good, no welding needed. Passenger side inner sill and floor are unusually sound, no welding needed. Both rear jacking points and sub frame and mountings sound.

All correct wheel trims present, four original mud flaps, very good GTA interior including carpets and door cards.

Headlining around the sunroof adrift, some trim, seat belts removed and put in boot, fuel gauge level indicator needle missing, tyres all deteriorating.

Overall above average structural condition, worst corrosion is drivers side arch and sill and passenger side jacking point. Sub frames and mounting points look good, front panel solid. There are only two previous welding repairs that have been done to a good standard.

Mechanically good, everything works, no oil leaks, no sign of impending  H G F, coolant is very clean. 

There are a few other defects, nothing terminal, have a look at the pictures and if any one wants any more detail, message me.

Buyer drove from Kings Lynn to view it last Sunday, paid me and sent a transporter to collect on Tuesday.

 

Said his first car was a Metro and having had numerous problems with recent more modern shite he had decided to buy something more basic for reliable transport.

 

One down, about 18 to go.
