Another Stupid project....

Post by Phil Perfect »

:roll:

I have bought that car many years ago as a spare donor for my Cooper and stored it from places to places until nobody wanted to have it on its garden anymore... :oops: some people you know...
So what to do with it? Resell it? Scrap it? Rebuild it?
A closest inspection and a chance to use the spares that gather dust in my garage lead me to the third option.
So here is the next very little beast. A 1966 850

Some weld to do... a new paint (not green) ... a new upholestry... a very slighty tuned engine and hours of fun... in some years :roll:

If I'm not mistaken that wing has suffered Elephant or Rhino damage, could it be a South African car? :D

You might be right! :lol: :lol:
The huge amount of small black things found inside the car, let me think that an elephant have got an heart attack when he saw what has eaten the upholestry.... :mrgreen:

Well worth saving in my opinion.
The only piece that would scare me is the hole in the roof, but that is not insurmountable.
That little project should keep you busy for a while. Keep us updated with progress.
