Sounds about right. I left him a note in the mailbox to call me if he was going to sell it because at first glance from the street it looked like a nice rat. I got a call back a couple of hours later from him. We chatted on the phone for a bit and I went back down again today with Azza to check it out as he said he wants to sell it. The place he's living in didn't look like he had the electricity connected, falling apart and definitely a hoarder. We chatted for about an hour and I snapped a few photos. He seemed to enjoy the company and I enjoyed the chat.

The pictures do the car way too much justice. It looks like nice patina and it is, but it's rotten all the way through. He has heaps of parts all sitting outside and rotting :cry:

how much is he after? even if it won't live again there are some nice trinkets to bling up someones car/s as well as plenty of early stock stuff to finish off a few projects.

hell, if it was cheap enough i'd buy it just for the headrests.

Wouldn't say what he was after. Just keep saying he had offers over a grand and still wouldn't sell it. We made an offer and he said he'll think about it, but I don't think he really wants to sell.
