Sorry to hear this Pete, that you also have a lot of other stuff going on in your life apart from car troubles. I hope you will stick around and pick up another 75 or ZT. They are cheap to buy and some bargains on the forum 'cars for sale' section can be had at the moment. All the best to you...Philip

Well, a friend and I have basically stripped everything we can get, from this car, on a couple of days. I've got the full interior, an Arctic fan, new radiator, and condenser, in addition to other bits from it, while my friend got the Serpents, and all manner of other parts, for his girlfriend's 75, the other day. The car was an absolute delight to remove parts from given how well everything had been flooded in copper slip, oil, and the underside was perfect, with waxoyl. Clearly a cherished car, and a huge thanks to Pete for all of his help, in alerting us to the car, and, telling us what he'd done to it.
Sorry that you weren't able to sort it Pete, and, all the best for the future. Here are some photos of the car, as it was when we found it, and left it.

Personally, I think that was a crime of sorts.
Boo.

OMG, I know it's only metal but that almost made me well up. I know it had to happen and Pete couldn't keep it and we all need parts but it just feels wrong.
