OK guys. Just saying my 2 bits worth. Yes i agree to stick up for your mates and this forum. Without people with the parts we need, we wouldnt have what we have today.

Like i said, yes he is a genuine person and for what someone from this forum did is unforgiveable.
For starters, you dont get permission from someone to enter your property to collect a vehicle that was restorable, to chop up the bits you need with an angle grinder and leave a wreck for someone else to get rid of. Like he said to me over the phone, it was a person or group from the forum that went there and destroyed a completely good car. What gives. He works away for 2 weeks, obliges to help someone and comes back to see that. I would be upset to. He's not directing it at the forum and he apologises, just at the person/s from the forum that did it. And i'm sure they've read this or will in the future.

So now you know the story, and choppedek apologises to upsetting the whole forum, but it was only directed at the person/s, who wrecked a completely good car. And yes it was good. Saw it today in the flesh and would have made a good restorer with alot of original parts.

Hello.
No the car would not be legal as stands.
Registered with old grey but has red motor.
Engineers cert is only for grey engine not for red, so yes it will need to be re-engineered.
As far as state engineering goes - all states are different. So basicly what i am saying is everybody stating facts about engineers reports are correct, but remember you are all in different states, i presume.

Back in its hey day, it was a very impressive car, compared to today's standards. Straight line of course, not to good in the turn circle dept.

So to cut it short - unless you have alot of money to restore this piece of history to put back on the road, bid.

My opinion would be to restore it as is and display it for all to see what yesteryear customising was all about.

Hi i'm a new member. Just joined. Have spoken to choppedek about parts and i can understand his frustion of people ringing and not showing up.  
He wastes a whole weekend waiting for these so called buyers to show up.

But for two "guru's" to belittle this genuine person to sell parts on your forum is a disgrace. Just because someone has said his peace doesn't give you the right to speak to anyone of that nature.

Maybe the two "guru's"where two of the 15 or so that said they would ring or show up. Are you feeling a bit guilty or something?

And before you post a come back. Believe me, I've been around to know a thing or 2. At my age (57), we need all the help in finding good/rare parts for our beloved cars, to keep them up and running.

Guests on this forum dont want to read about people abusing them for trying to do the right thing.

Anyway, thats my 2c worth. Maybe i'll be told to make sure my ass doesnt hit the door on the way out. So be it. At least i know i've done the right thing to a person that was trying to do the good thing.

Thanks for all your help choppedek and organising to drop them off for me.

Thank You
