Unfinished FE Project need gone :(

I have an old 1953 FE Holden sitting back at my Parents place I am now looking at selling... I did start working on restoring this project back in 1998 but moved a few years later... Never got the chance to finish the old girl off... Now I need it out of there & no longer have the time or money to finish it off... I’m not sure how much it’s worth but I see most of them are going for around $2000.00. So best I start there...

Vehicle is located in Altona Meadows, Vic 3028
Will need to be removed from the site. It doesn’t run as everything has been disconnected.

As im new to this forum im having trouble uploading any picks. Email me for the photo's at this time till this newbe works it out :D

Bit more Info:

This car is 90% there (but most of it is in the boot)  ;D
Normal rust spots through the floor. Front bench seat no longer around. All other parts in good condition for its age.. All chrome work still there. It did have a rear end hit so back drivers quarter paned damaged. All other panels appear strait.

I did start removing all the old paint & start rubbing the panels back. As you can see in one of the picks (once i upload them) i have re-coated the vehicle in a special killrust primer to stop further rust getting in.

This vehicle has been stored in a garage out of the weather now for 14 years. It has also been covered that hole time so should be just as good as when i first started working on it...

I have just taken some updated pictures of the FE after its been sitting under covers for 14 years... I have FINALLY worked out how to upload these pictures  ;D

The old girl doesn't look too bad for sitting still for 14 years  :o..

not sure if I'm asking too much or not enough for the old girl... Any advice would  be great  ???

I haven't had any takers on this car as yet . Thanks for all who has come out & the advise they have given.. I am now looking at possibly stripping the car down for parts if no one want to take the complete car. I will consider $1000.00 for the lot or I will start pulling it apart in the next month or so. If there is any further intrest please let me know ASAP Ph: Mat on 0416 027 593. I do need this car gone before Christmas this year!

Happy to send it up on the back of a truck but you would need to organise the truck & a driver  ;D probably cost you more than what the car is worth  ::) I'm good at supervising, i could watch him load it  :P
