I don't think it runs. We got the starter solenoid to click but nothing more. 

There is some life, then. Maybe knocking the starter motor with a persuasive hammer might produce other signs.

Still think you should have it hauled out and taken to where you can mess with it at your leisure.

Bigger hammer plz. Also the in-car garden is a big positive; if the floor pan was flintstoned it wouldn't hold the water in! :D

Well that was fun! Shame it was a little far gone but much fun was had with hammers, smaller sockets, and grindy things.  Have some pictures for illustrative purposes including what I believe is the first Autoshite Triple Woollard!

Liberated some useful parts too so the poor thing made good use of its donor card.  As for the house, that’s another story in itself as it appears Mr Trebus was the previous owner judging by the state of it.  Absolutely fascinating.

We ended up with a few useful bits such as the wings, lights, carb, switches and so forth.  The wiper and blower motor fought hard but had no chance against superior opposition.  

Glad we nabbed the bonnet hinges, they were surprisingly good and they are quite expensive new.  I have Gus and Will to thank for that nugget of information
