You lot have no taste (for '70's kitsch). I think it was a bargain, but it may not have sold again.

I reckon a change to a dark colour and some drug dealer dark windows it would look a lot better, but the seats have outstanding comedy value! Like something from Hot Car or Street Machine.

the important bits seem fine - i.e the roof, b pillars and round the rear screen

the rest can be bought new if you wanted to restore it

autograss racers will buy it just to get the roof and what not, they will fit new 'autograss' spec sides and rear panel, and chop all the load floor out to space frame it, so its not really an issue
