Can anyone make use of this?



Screen is not too bad (but probably have to destroy body to get it out in one piece)



Petrol cap very pitted

Servo not looking too good but maybe not actually gone through?

I don't have room to store it so if no takers will probably cut back end of to keep (in case I ever rear ended!) and dump the rest.

Also have doors (bare fibreglass, nothing left in) and bootlid, not desperate to get rid of them but available if anybody needs them.

If it's not too late, I wouldn't mind the VIN plate if it's got one.
Blackpool never fitted one on my P&J.
I would of course put my chassis no. etc on it. And cotributebeer
some Belgian beer tokens of course.

Being ignorant of these things, could this be treated in any way to get rid of the pitting, & then replated? Or will it always have acne?

I believe they are cast from a kind of zinc alloy that cannot be repaired good enough for re-plating once pitted.

Guess it could be sanded down, the pitting marks filled then painted body colour or maybe something like gun metal grey would look ok ?
